Dear listmembers,
I'm the chair of an interdepartmental faculty committee for archaeology
at my university, Montclair State University in northeastern New
Jersey. I'm an Old World specialist, and I could use your help. We are
planning to develop a Center for Heritage and Archaeological Studies are
in the process of getting--we hope--a faculty line in U.S. historical
archaeology, with emphasis on the Northeast and the Atlantic region,
approved by our administration. For reasons that are too complicated
to go into here, the administration plans to place this position in the
History Department rather than in Anthropology or in some type of
crossover appointment.
I'd appreciate any thoughts you all may have on
(a) How often are such positions in History as opposed to Anthropology,
in your experience?
(b) Which departmental environment do you think would be better for the
person (bearing in mind, of course, that not all North American
archaeologists are cut from the same cloth)?
Thanks very much.
Tim Renner
