INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY- Let me know if you're interested ASAP via email!

Boston City Archaeology Laboratory, Education and Curation Center

The History Department is pleased to announce an internship opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic Brooks School history student from the Class of 2012. The student will spend about 6 weeks this summer working with Ellen Berkland, Boston’s City Archaeologist. As a part of the Boston Environment Department, Berkland manages the archaeological remains located on public land in Boston, and over 27 collections of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts held by the City. Over one million artifacts were uncovered during the “Big Dig,” some dating back 12,000 years.

The intern’s role will be to assist the archaeologist with on-going digs, washing, processing, and cataloguing artifacts, helping to run archaeological workshops, and assisting in the management of volunteer programs. The student will have the opportunity to learn all aspects of urban archaeology. There is some flexibility in scheduling the internship; the chosen candidate can work out the details with Ellen Berkland.

The intern’s work in the program continues next fall with a formal presentation to interested members of the community and it will culminate with their inclusion as members of the selection committee for next year’s intern.
