Greetings all,

 

Sorry for the cross posting. I am writing to advertise two openings at
The Hermitage. We are currently implementing our grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the first step is hiring two new
positions in the laboratory for the analysis and cataloguing of the
entire archaeological collection into the Digital Archaeological Archive
of Comparative Slavery (DAACS). This opportunity will allow skilled
analysts to further hone their skills and research one of the most
important archaeological collections of a single enslaved community in
the New World. 

 

Please feel free to distribute this listing to those with interest.
