The Center for Digital Antiquity (CDA) within the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an 18-month appointment beginning June 1, 2024. In collaboration with CDA researchers, the successful applicant will work on the Comparative Digital Archaeological Studies sponsored by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) which requires that the candidate must be able to obtain a secret security clearance with the Department of Defense. The postdoctoral researcher will work with DPAA to explore how the management and organization of archaeological data can enhance its search and recovery efforts for missing service personnel. The position will develop and execute a collaborative research project that will increase the applied and scholarly impact of the DPAAs datasets, by leveraging the unique capabilities of tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record; www.tdar.org). The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to work with the DPAA to create project deliverables and publish the results of this research in appropriate venues.

As currently conceived, the project has three focus areas. First, the Post-Doctoral Scholar will continue to develop computational models to conduct landscape-scale analyses across regions of interest by aggregating existing hard-copy data from DPAA reports, along with freely available spatial gridded environmental data. Using known incident details contained in existing reports, archaeological data, and a suite of environmental data, the project seeks to understand where other missing service personnel are likely, or not, to be recovered in the future. Second, the project will explore the use Natural Language Processing models, and other AI, to extract meaningful information from legacy documents for analysis. Finally, the project will explore ways to increase data interoperability across existing DPAA datasets.

The Center for Digital Antiquity (CDA) within the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University is a multi-institutional organization dedicated to ensuring the long-term preservation of irreplaceable archaeological data and to broadening access to these data. Our mission is to extend our knowledge of the human past and improve the management of our cultural heritage by permanently preserving digital archaeological data and supporting their discovery, access, and reuse. As part of fulfilling these goals, CDA oversees the use, development, and maintenance of the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR), an international repository for the digital records of archaeological investigations, organizations, projects, and research. One of CDA’s key objectives is to foster the use of tDAR and ensure its financial, technical, and professional sustainability. Use of tDAR has the potential to transform archaeological research by providing direct access to digital data from current and historic investigations along with powerful tools to analyze and reuse it.

Job duties will include:

Organizing hard-copy reports for scanning at DPAA facilities
Processing digital documents and metadata in tDAR
Data mining using conventional or Natural Language Processing techniques
Building datasets for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Conducting analyses to interrogate case and conflict-related questions posed by DPAA
Preparation of reports and manuscripts with collaborators
Other duties as assigned

Minimum qualifications:

a Ph.D. in anthropology or a related field by the time of appointment
Demonstrated commitment to working with faculty, staff, students and communities to advance the principles of the ASU Charter

Desired qualifications:

Knowledge of and experience with archaeological data and materials
Experience in database manipulation,
Demonstrated knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Evidence of experience in Natural Language Processing,
Strong record of collaborative research and outreach activities.

EnviroSystems - Crew Chief and Field Technicians

AAC Board Admin — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 16:38:32 GMT

CREW CHIEF – Fulltime/Temporary (with Potential for Fulltime/Permanent) – $24 to $26/hour or $1 to $3 over SCA (i.e., McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act) rates for Federal work.

A master’s degree is also preferable for a Crew Chief-level position, but a minimum of a bachelor’s degree with appropriate experience may be acceptable. The successful candidate either will be currently permitted or meet the qualifications to be immediately permitted as a Crew Chief with a variety of public land managing agencies at the Federal and state level. Crew Chiefs must have the ability to supervise crews under the direction and guidance of the Project Director. Crew Chiefs must be able to work in remote locations through rugged terrain involving camping for a week or more at a time. Again, a clean driving record and the ability to work out-of-town for multiple sequential field sessions are also essential.

The successful candidate will provide demonstrable expertise supervising a crew and ensuring that all paperwork and documentation are clear, consistent, and organized before submitting to the Project Director. The Crew Chief has the potential to be offered a Full Time/Permanent position and potential to advance to the level of Project Director.

FIELD TECHNICIAN – Fulltime/Temporary - $22 to $24/hour on non-Federal Projects. SCA rates for Federal work range from $21.90 to $25.50/hour depending on the state and county. Prospective Field Technician candidates for the 2024 field season can expect Fulltime/Temporary work from March through November, but it is possible the field season may begin early and continue through the end of 2024. Prospective candidates should have a bachelor’s degree in Archaeology/Anthropology/History or similar field. At least one year of experience is preferred, though not required. The candidate will be expected to be able to survey in remote locations, over rough terrain, for camping sessions that are typically 8 days long, and occasionally longer. The 8 days sessions include the travel days on either end, and EnviroSystems provides transportation to the project location. Sessions that exceed 8 days are rare, but EnviroSystems does pay overtime in those circumstances. Some projects may require archaeological monitoring, testing, or data recovery, but the majority of work is expected to be large block surveys in remote areas. All remote or out of town work pays per diem. Per diem varies by project but exceeds base GSA rates.

Archaeology Southwest - Tonto National Monument Cultural Resource Database Specialist

AAC Board Admin — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 04:31:22 GMT

Tonto National Monument Cultural Resource Database Specialist

Title: Cultural Resource Database Specialist for Tonto National Monument
Location: Arizona preferred, negotiable, can work remotely
Duration: 1-2 years (full and halftime options)
Annual Salary: $53,000 (fulltime 1-year), $26,500 (halftime 2-years)
Classification: Exempt, reporting to the Southern Arizona Office of the National Park Service and Archaeology Southwest
Application Deadline: November 1, 2023
Position Start Date: January, 2024
Benefits:
Fulltime option: Paid Time Off (200 hours), health insurance, vision plan, optional dental plan (50% subsidized), 401k plan with 20% employer match, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.
Part time option: Paid Time Off (1 hour per 30 hours worked), 401k plan with 20% employer match (after 1,000 hours of work within first 12 months).

Performance goals

Using the Tonto National Monument site assessment and monitoring plan as model, crosswalk cultural resource monitoring and assessment data, National Register status, and other pertinent management information between Cultural Resources and Facilities Management databases in the Inter-Mountain Region (IMR; Regions 6, 7, and 8) of the National Park Service. This will allow for more effective and efficient documentation and management of cultural resources
Work with National Park Service (NPS) and Archaeology Southwest (ASW) staff to standardize cultural resource monitoring and assessment plans for a select group of parks and monuments in the IMR, especially related to fire impact, flooding and stabilization of properties
Assess quality and recommend integration procedures for management data within this group of parks and monuments as a proof of concept that can be potentially expanded to other units in the NPS

Project Description

This project builds upon management strategies for archeological sites impacted by the Woodbury Fire at Tonto National Monument. The success of these strategies suggests that they can be implemented in other parks and monuments in the IMR, especially those managed by the Southern Arizona Office, to help document, treat, and protect fragile cultural resources threatened by adverse impacts caused by fire, flooding, and stabilization. However, mechanisms for implementing data management strategies in other parks and monuments are currently untested. One of the major issues encountered is that the various cultural resource databases among these units, if they exist, are not standardized, leading to inconsistencies in how information on site condition, location and treatment histories are documented. This position will use the site assessment and monitoring plan developed for Tonto National Monument to assess data quality and recommend procedures for database integration for a select group of parks and monuments in the IMR as a proof of concept. The ultimate goal will be to expand this database to include other units in the IMR.

Work will focus on Tonto National Monument datasets, but the individual will also work with IMR regional staff to investigate workable strategies more broadly. This fulfills the original public purpose of the project to improve post fire treatments across the profession as well as increase public awareness, knowledge, and support for historic preservation and the stewardship of archaeological resources at Tonto National Monument and across the Southwest.

Because the vast majority of the work is related to database management the position is flexible in terms of physical location and much of the work can be accomplished remotely in areas with reliable internet access. However, travel to relevant units (e.g., Tonto National Monument) in the National Park Service may be required, especially within Arizona.

The selected individual will be an employee of Archaeology Southwest and report regularly to Dr. Jeffery Clark. This individual will work closely with personnel from the National Park Service at Tonto National Monument, the Southern Arizona Office, and the IMR in general.

About Archaeology Southwest

Archaeology Southwest practices a holistic, conservation-based approach to exploring and protecting heritage places and landscapes. Archaeology Southwest is committed to respectfully engaging with Native American Tribal governments and communities.

Salary

$25.56 - $40.90 Hourly / $53,165 - $85,064 Annually

This position is a Pay Band 70

Description

This position is for a skilled archaeologist and physical anthropologist who will be required to participate in field excavations of burials, train field excavators in burial excavation techniques, analyze human skeletal remains in both field and laboratory settings and prepare required descriptive and interpretive reports. This position may also analyze animal bone assemblages from archaeological sites and prepare reports on those analyses.

Archaeological Field Investigations: The employee will be required to conduct unmarked human burial excavations and to train field excavators in human burial excavation procedures. Field procedures will adapted as necessary to the condition of the burial, the complexity of the burial, any associated funerary objects, and the stratigraphic context of the burial. The employee must be familiar with state or federal regulatory requirements and any agreements with Native American tribes that govern burial treatments. The employee must be qualified to conduct in-field burial analyses under conditions where regulations or agreements require immediate reinterment of burials.

Analysis: Most analyses will be conducted in the laboratory, but some human bone analyses may have to be conducted under field conditions, depending on state or federal laws and agreements with Native American Tribes. Human burials and isolated bones will be analyzed in accordance with the minimum requirements of state statute and regulation and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Animal bone analyses begin with rough sorts into potentially identifiable and unidentifiable fragments. Potentially identifiable fragments are organized by probable species and body part, and the individual bones are then compared with type specimens in the laboratory to establish identifications. In addition to species and body part identifications, animal bones are observed for evidence of age and any cultural modifications (butchering, burning, shaping into tools, etc.).

Reporting: All human bone analyses carry a responsibility to state, federal, or tribal laws and regulations. Animal bone reporting begins with the creation of descriptive inventories and tabular summaries of bones found in the archaeological collections. These summaries become the basis for environmental reconstructions and interpretations of past human behavior. The interpretations are guided the research goals of the overall project, and by a vast literature on the interpretation of archaeological faunal collections.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate has a Master's degree in Archaeology or Anthropology and four (4) years of Archaeology or Anthropology survey, excavation, analysis, and/or reporting experience. Must be listed or able to be listed on the unmarked human burial excavation permit.

Minimum Qualification

Bachelor's degree in Archaeology or Anthropology and two (2) years of experience in archaeology survey, excavation, analysis and/or reporting.

ASU - Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Center for Digital Antiquity

AAC Board Admin — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 04:13:14 GMT

The Center for Digital Antiquity (CDA) at Arizona State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an anticipated 18-month appointment. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible, fiscal-year appointment with an anticipated start date in January 2022. In collaboration with CDA researchers, the successful applicant will work on the Comparative Digital Archaeological Studies sponsored by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). The postdoctoral researcher will work with DPAA materials to explore how the management and organization of archaeological data can enhance the recovery of missing service personnel. The position will develop and execute a collaborative research project that will increase the applied and scholarly impact of the DPAAs datasets, by leveraging the unique capabilities of tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record; www.tdar.org). The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to work with the DPAA to create project deliverables and publish the results of this research in appropriate venues. The postdoctoral position is scheduled to be in effect for a total of 18 months given that the candidate has satisfactory performance, there are funds available and based on University needs. The annual salary for this position is $50,500 per year. The associate does not need to be in residence in Tempe, Arizona during the appointment, but is preferred.

As currently conceived, the project will develop computation models to assess landscapes in regions of interest by aggregating existing hard-copy data from DPAA reports, along with freely available spatial gridded environmental data. Using known recovery locations of missing service personnel contained in existing reports, archaeological data, and a suite of environmental data, the project seeks to understand where other missing service personnel are likely, or not, to be recovered in the future.

The Center for Digital Antiquity (CDA) at Arizona State University is a multi-institutional organization dedicated to ensuring the long-term preservation of irreplaceable archaeological data and to broadening access to these data. Our mission is to extend our knowledge of the human past and improve the management of our cultural heritage by permanently preserving digital archaeological data and supporting their discovery, access, and reuse. As part of fulfilling these goals, CDA oversees the use, development, and maintenance of the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR), an international repository for the digital records of archaeological investigations, organizations, projects, and research. One of CDA’s key objectives is to foster the use of tDAR and ensure its financial, technical, and professional sustainability. Use of tDAR has the potential to transform archaeological research by providing direct access to digital data from current and historic investigations along with powerful tools to analyze and reuse it.

Job duties will include:

Organizing hard-copy reports for scanning at DPAA facilities
Processing digital documents and metadata in tDAR
Data mining using conventional or Natural Language Processing techniques
Building datasets for use in GIS
Preparation of reports and manuscripts
Other duties as assigned

Initial deadline for complete applications is December 31, 2021; if not filled, review of complete applications will occur every two weeks thereafter until the search is closed.
