Internships

Archeology Monitoring Member

The Archeology Monitor's primary job will be to monitor active construction projects that involve ground disturbance, conduct archeological site condition assessments using established protocols and forms developed for Northeast Region parks, and prepare archaeological reports and correspondence for the park's management team. Work will be largely independent with some virtual guidance from the regional archeological program's zone archeologist, who is based in Baltimore, MD. The member's park-based supervisor will be the park's Cultural Resources Manager. Monitoring reports will be completed on a weekly-or-more-frequent basis, and will summarize areas monitored and include photographs. When time allows, the member will also monitor the condition of the park's 120+ family cemeteries, accompanying park staff and volunteers into the backcountry and documenting cemetery conditions, including access conditions. The member also may be called upon to serve in an environmental monitoring role, or to lead small teams of cultural resource documentation teams.
