In Fieldwork Opportunity

This internship will support two upper-level undergraduate students or recent graduates in the historical ecology of northern quahog clam populations in the Long Island Sound. This project investigates possible size changes in quahog over time that could have been driven by the economic pressures of the wampum trade, environmental changes, or other factors. The two interns will visit archaeological shell collections housed in Connecticut to learn how to identify and measure common marine shellfish species from the region. Interns will also learn to use project data to conduct small research projects of their own and will have the opportunity to present the results of these projects at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology Conference in San Francisco, CA.

Application Deadline: March 1, 2025

Internship Type: In person, full time (40 hours/week) in Guilford, Storrs, and Ledyard, Connecticut in August 2025.

After the completion of the WNC 2024, they prepared the attached report. The Scientific Committee continues to discuss the future of the congress.

After the congress, one of the key questions is whether or not the proceedings will be published. Given the large number of participants at this congress, it is a challenge to fit all the papers into a single publication. They will contact the session organizers to discuss the possibility of publishing all sessions in separate volumes if desired, but in a unified format.
