- Internship Opportunity: The Anasazi State Park Museum in Boulder, Utah is
looking for Summer 2010 Interns. The internship is for 10-12 weeks and
includes a stipend of $75/week, plus board. Within the park is one of the
largest Ancestral Puebloan villages (Coombs Archaeological Site) west of
the Colorado River. The village was occupied from AD 1160 to 1235.
Archaeological excavations revealed more than 100 structures which may have
housed as many as 200 people. The internship familiarizes interns with
projects and duties in all areas of a state park museum. The interns will
spend time collections management, interpretation, and visitor services.
The focus of this internship will be research relating to the analysis of
stone tools found in southeastern Utah. The intern will be to implement
typological analysis, functional analysis, and technological analysis of
projectile points curated at the Anasazi State Park Museum and affiliated
Museums with similar collections.
Additionally, the selected interns will facilitate a Lithic Technology
Symposium. The Symposium will be held either late August or early September
2010. Featured will be a recent collection (Behunin Collection) of over
1,000 projectile points.
