Hi everyone!

There's a tenure track position opening up at UW with a focus on the
archaeology of health and wellness with descendant or Indigenous
communities. I figure some of the people here are either (a) engaged in
this kind of work, or (b) know someone who is. If so, feel free to forward
this along!
