2 A Note from AUSA

hank you, first of all, for picking up a copy of this fieldwork and internship guide compiled by the officers of the Anthropology Undergraduate Student Association. It is our sincere hope that this guide will aid you in your quest Tto find opportunities for practical experience in the wondrous field of anthropology that we all know and love. As you probably know by now, anthropology is essentially a fieldwork‐based discipline that cannot be understood solely within the confines of the classroom. To truly grasp what anthropology is really about, it is necessary to go into “the field” and experience for yourself what fieldwork is like. We were founded on the desire to serve the needs of anthropology students by providing them with anthropology‐ related activities and opportunities and, ever since, it has been our mission to get students involved with anthropology beyond the classroom. We have worked hard on this third annual fieldwork and internship guide, and believe strongly that it can help you on your way to an experience of a lifetime, whether it be a field school in Tanzania, a human rights internship in Germany, or a position at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Should you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please feel free to contact us. As always, we value your opinion and hope to see you at our events!

Sincerely, The Anthropology Undergraduate Student Association

3 Things to Consider

hy should you go for a fieldwork or internship opportunity? What can such experiences offer you? Let’s talk about fieldwork first. To speak in realistic terms, if you plan on pursuing an academic career in anthropology, W such experiences—especially in the field—are not only viewed favorably by, say, graduate schools, they are often required for admission. This is mostly because fieldwork is not for everyone. As you may know, fieldwork in anthropology can be strenuous and taxing, requiring long hours and meticulous work. To be able to handle the strains of fieldwork, you must be adaptable, hard‐working, and patient. When the admissions board of a graduate program sees that you have attended a field school, for instance, they can infer that [1] you possess a certain level of aptitude with certain anthropological methods and techniques and [2] you possess the motivation to be able to survive and thrive under stressful conditions that would have tested the will of the typical individual. You may, for example, have to camp out in the deserts of New Mexico, working in 100°F+ temperatures, or deal with a multitude of potentially deadly insects in the jungles of the Amazon, or put up with the lack of constant running water and electricity in rural, poverty‐stricken areas of many countries in the world. While it can be fun and educational to undertake the challenges of living in less‐than‐luxurious circumstances with a certain group of people for one or two months, it may also test the bounds of your sanity.

hich brings us to our next point—how does one go about the nigh impossible task of choosing a fieldwork opportunity out of the hundreds listed in this directory? It all boils down to the individual. What do YOU want to W do? Are you interested in archaeology, physical anthropology, or sociocultural/linguistic anthropology? Or are

4 you interested in more than one? Some of these opportunities combine multiple aspects of anthropology. You can work, for example, with human fossils and artifacts at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, or learn about rock art and the plight of aboriginal peoples in Australia. Next, is there a specific region/culture that you are interested in? This is often one of the biggest deciding factors for field school participants. Furthermore, are there certain working conditions that you cannot tolerate? Some people, for example, prefer more comfortable living circumstances. Others cannot work in extreme heat or cold, or would not do well in areas of the world where meat is a prevalent part of the diet. We suggest that you research the region you are looking at and check websites to get a sense of what the room and board situation is like.

Another huge factor is cost—field schools tend to be expensive (though receiving credit through them can often be cheaper than paying NYU tuition). If cost is a significant issue for you, try looking for field schools with lesser room, board, and tuition fees, or look to volunteer (at some field schools, you can still participate and not pay the tuition fee—meaning you are completing the course without credit). To reduce the cost of travel, try working someplace closer to home. There are a few opportunities in this guide that offer a stipend—most often these are funded through National Science Foundation—Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF‐REU). Also, you could try turning your experience into a research project by applying for funding (see Funding, page 8).

After you consider all these points, try researching the field program(s) itself. Has it been running for a significant amount of time? Who is running it? Ask your professors if they know anything about the program directors or course instructors of the specific field schools—they can offer you valuable advice. Lastly, don’t be afraid to contact the program directors about any questions or concerns that you may have. Failure to respond in a reasonable amount of time can be a

5 surefire indication that the program is not set up so much to train you, but instead to obtain some cheap labor! Remember, many of these deadlines are fast approaching and some of these programs have limited space and accept applicants on a first‐come‐first‐serve basis. So get cracking!

hat about internships? Internships and other opportunities that offer practical experience are also very valuable, especially if you’re looking to obtain specialized skills. Have you always wanted to work in conservation or W archives? Did you ever wonder what it was like to manage a museum’s collection or how research is conducted in a zoo setting? Completing an internship can allow you to become familiar with how anthropology is relevant in the “real world”. Choose from opportunities to work at museums, cultural institutions, research institutes, or NGOs. Some internships are available for the summer only; others are available during the typical school year. Luckily for us, at NYU, we have access to a plethora of fantastic institutions in New York City. You might even be lucky enough to snag a paid internship!

or those of you who are interested in cultural anthropology, you might also consider a study abroad stint or a volunteer program abroad. Unlike in archaeology or physical anthropology, undergraduate fieldwork experience F is not required for graduate programs in cultural anthropology. Rather, many programs are looking for life experiences. These can include studying abroad, doing volunteer work, or working for NGOs or other related groups. For you, there are infinite possibilities. So while we suggest you use this guide to see if there is anything that interests you, we also suggest that you do some research yourself (see Additional Resources, page 54) and talk to your professors to see what other options are available out there for you before you make your decision. Best of luck!!

6 o how do you know if field school is right for you? Field schools are programs that are set up to give what is probably your first taste of life and work in the field—all while providing the necessary guidance and instruction. S If you are new to the field of the anthropology or feel that you have a modest background in your discipline, the resources that field schools exclusively offer can be invaluable. Some students find while attending field school that the subject area or field conditions are, ultimately, not for them. It is much better to discover this while attending a field school than, say, while working as a field assistant, where the pressure can be far greater. That being said, there are some distinct advantages to jumping straight into a position as a field worker or assistant without first attending field school. First, this opens up a wider variety of projects suited to your specific interests. A position as a field worker also allows you to work more closely with researchers of your choice. Perhaps you have a professor or supervisor with whom you would like to work. These sorts of positions can foster collaborative relationships that lead to future projects. Finally, while a position as a field worker is almost certainly more grueling than as a field school student, it is also more rewarding for those same reasons. The bottom line? Unless you are certain that you possess the necessary will and skills to work as a field worker now, look to attend a field school. Who knows, after field school, you may decide that you want to become a field worker!

Note: Only field schools are listed in the fieldwork section of this guide. There are simply too many field worker opportunities to find and verify. If you are looking to work as a field assistant, do some research, search for listings, and begin contacting the people involved. You may also want to check out some of the links in the Additional Resources, page 54, section of the guide. Good luck!

7 Funding

nce you decide on a particular fieldwork or internship opportunity, try to see if you can turn it into a full‐fledged research project, or look around to see if there are any other funding options available. Some of these funding O options are capable of covering the entire cost of field school; in other words, you will be attending field school for free! Here are a few of the funding opportunities that many anthropology students have taken advantage of over the years:

DEAN’S UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FUND Visit website This is one option that we at NYU have been particularly fortunate to have. It is open to students from all disciplines within the College of Arts and Science. The DURF offers up to $2,000 for the funding of research or to make up for wages lost during the study period. The application process is very straightforward—all you need is to submit an application form (which now can be done entirely online) and a faculty member’s recommendation. When you are finished with your project, you are required to complete a write‐up of the research results and to submit all receipts, as well as present a PowerPoint or poster at the annual Dean’s Undergraduate Research Conference in April. You will then have the opportunity to publish your abstract in Inquiry, NYU’s journal for undergraduate research. The Anthropology Undergraduate Research Conference, a brand new biannual conference sponsored by the Anthropology Undergraduate Research Association (AURA) at NYU, is also accepting conference applications from undergraduates. Contact [email protected] for more information. Deadlines: February 1, April 3, and November 1 of each year

8 ANTONINA S. RANIERI INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FUND (for research involving the Ancient World) Visit website This is another great option that has been particularly kind to archaeology students here at NYU. This grant offers up to $1,500 in travel funds for students engaged in any study of the ancient world and can be used to help attend a field school, conference, or work at research institutions around the world. Upon completion of your stint abroad, a short write‐up must be submitted. Deadline: March 25 of each year

JANE C. WALDBAUM ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP Visit website This scholarship provides $1,000 each for up to five successful applicants to help pay expenses associated with participation on an archaeological excavation or survey project (minimum stay: one month). The scholarship is open to junior and senior undergraduate students and first‐year graduate students who are currently enrolled at a college or university in the U.S. or Canada. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have not previously participated in an archaeological excavation. Students majoring in archaeology or related disciplines are especially encouraged to apply. Deadline: March 15 of each year; 2009 applications will be accepted March 16

EXPLORERS CLUB YOUTH ACTIVITY FUND Visit website This grant is awarded to high school students and college undergraduates conducting scientific or exploration research around the world. Awards range from $500‐1,500, with three additional $5,000 awards (pertaining to certain themes—see website for details) available. The Exploration Fund is a similar grant available for graduate and post‐doctoral students. Deadline: January 15, 2009—keep this one for next year!

9 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC YOUNG EXPLORERS GRANTS Visit website This grant is set aside by the National Geographic foundation to assist younger individuals pursuing projects involving research, conservation, and exploration. The grant is restricted to individuals between 18 and 25 years of age. Grants range between $2,000 and $5,000 and help fund direct costs associated with the project (travel, equipment, and so on). Deadline: A pre‐application form must be submitted 8 months prior to the anticipated field date

SIGMA XI GRANTS‐IN‐AID OF RESEARCH Visit website This grant from the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society provides up to $1,000 to students from all areas of science and engineering to pursue scientific research. Eligibility is restricted to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in degree programs. Graduating seniors must plan to complete their research prior to graduation to be eligible. Deadline: March 15 and October 15 of each year

Some additional fellowship opportunities exist that require research to be done with a specific institution. These are listed in the Internships section of the guide.

Remember, these are not all of the funding options that are available. There may be more that we do not know of. So feel free to do some research!

To arrange for internship credit in anthropology, simply talk to Professor Di Fiore, the Director of Undergraduate Studies, and obtain a statement from your internship supervisor concerning the type of work you’ll be doing. To undertake an Independent Study, find a faculty member who will help you with developing and completing a research project.

Whatever you decide to do, try to plan ahead and arrange all your affairs as soon as possible. These things, especially the petitions, can take weeks to process, so we suggest you begin working on yours as soon as you can. Good luck!

If you are thinking about becoming an anthropologist, attending a field school as an undergraduate student is probably one of the smartest things you can do. It is guaranteed that you will gain priceless knowledge there. At the very least, you will learn if the career you saw yourself pursuing as an anthropologist is actually what you want to do for the rest of your working life. Of course, the actual field school you pick is quite important since the programs that different institutions run can be structured in different ways. Fortunately, the program I was part of was very organized and not only did I learn a lot, but I also met wonderful people who I still keep in contact with.

The field school I attended this past summer was the San José de Moro Archaeological Project (see page 33), run by Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. I was part of an international group of students who had been accepted to the program. The program starts in Lima, where students get acquainted with each other and also learn more about the program. Next, we traveled by bus to the San Jose de Moro archeological site. While we didn’t live at the site, we were staying in a town only 5‐10 minutes away by car. Our work day normally started at 7AM and concluded at 5 PM. At the site we were taught the technical aspects of archaeology. We also kept field journals where we recorded what we did each day and also described findings. In the weekends we would visit other archaeological sites nearby which were sometimes being excavated by different archaeological programs. A couple of times a week we would hike mountains in order to prospect archaeological sites. In those occasions we were taught to use GPS devices and given the tasks of using them to mark the archaeological sites.

Overall, my experience with this program was fantastic; everything was well‐planned and you never found yourself bored. Additionally, after the program concluded I decided to go to Cusco and Machu Picchu with a group of friends I made during field school.

The Ometepe Biological Field Station (see page 48) is located on the remote island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. I enrolled in the month long course “Primate Behavior and Ecology” taught by Professor Donati of Oxford

My first hands‐on experiences in the field of archaeology came about when I volunteered to help out on a project in the Anthropology Department that involved re‐bagging and cataloguing previously excavated material being stored in the basement of the Anthropology building. This offered me my first experience handling artifacts and getting a sense of how both meticulous and interesting the process of excavating could be. It really fueled my desire to participate in a fieldwork project. I was interested in studying the Maya culture, and, after attending a workshop on fieldwork opportunities, I applied to work at a site in Belize during June of 2007. The program, the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project (see page 30), involved working at the Maya site of Baking Pot. I learned techniques in identifying artifacts, conducting settlement survey and taking thorough, informative notes. Though some days were hot and some days were muddy and some days were pretty exhausting, I can honestly say that my days spent working on site were the most thrilling days of my summer! I did many things I never thought I would ever be able to do, including spelunking into a cave to see ancient Maya pottery and skeletons. I was even able to take a trip into Guatemala to visit the famous site of Tikal, a dream come true for me. However, it was the chance to spend time and collaborate with people who share many of my interests and passions that really made the BVAR project memorable for me. This past summer, I returned to Baking Pot to participate in BVAR’s continuing excavations and to conduct independent research for my senior honors thesis and will be returning once again this June. In spring of 2008, I also interned at the American Museum of Natural History in the Mexican and Central American Archaeology division of the Anthropology Internship Program (see page 50). If I had any advice to give anthropology majors, especially those interested in archaeology, it would be to experience some time in the field! There is a huge discrepancy between how people imagine fieldwork to be and how it is in reality. Let’s just say, I was hardly running around with a whip and stealing lost arks and the like, but I did find some obsidian blades! If finances are an issue, there ARE funding programs and grants out there; think of that as your first chance to hunt for hidden treasure, you archaeologist out there! There truly are opportunities all around you to gain experience in whatever area of Anthropology that fascinates you (your professor and fellow students are often some of your best resources for hearing about these…and, of course, the internet.) Finally, do not get discouraged if something seems impractical or impossible. If you really DIG what you’re doing, then go for it!!!

Over the past summer, I attended a field school at the Ometepe Biological Field Station (see page 48) in Nicaragua. Ometepe is an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua and, in addition to about 30,000 people, it is home to large populations of white‐throated capuchin (Cebus capucinus) and black mantled howler (Alouatta palliata) monkeys. At the field station, I took a class entitled Advanced Primate Behavior & Ecology. The “advanced” part of the name signified a greater emphasis on independent research projects. We were required to attend lectures on field techniques only (none on behavioral ecology), helping budget more time for developing the project and collecting data. I would recommend this course over the course entitled Primate Behavior & Ecology for those applying to either Ometepe or La Suerte who have any sort of background in primate behavior because the more time you can spend in the field, the better it is for your project. Also, traveling from the field station to the forest was generally a long walk and returning to the station to attend lectures in the afternoon effectively ended the workday prematurely. In fact, after getting accustomed to the fieldwork lifestyle, it became common practice to pack breakfasts and lunches just so that we were able to stay in the forest the entire day. I applied to work at Ometepe because, first, I love the outdoors and was intrigued with working in tropical forests and second, I had some interest in primate behavioral research and wanted to find out if I was suited for work in the field. I also applied for and received a grant from the Dean’s Undergraduate Research Fund (see page 8). As it turns out, field school provided exactly what I had anticipated. It provided a taste of the demands of field research while providing guidance and support when needed. And fieldwork can certainly be demanding. At Ometepe, wake up times between 4:00 and 5:30 in the morning were the norm. Hiking several miles a day was essential just to travel between the field station and the forest. Once in the forest, we were exposed to a variety of insects and malicious plants that no amount of bug spray could fix. At the same time, however, the professor, TA’s, station staff and other students were always nearby. Food was always provided and water was easily accessible. The living quarters were quite comfortable. We even had time before bedtime to screen movies and hang out! In short, the field school was demanding at times but definitely not as much as it could have been. Students who decide that field research is not for them—and some students definitely do—should never be left to agonize over the duration of their stay; for people like me—those who are not confident about their career interests and goals—field school is very worthwhile for this reason. My experience at Ometepe was positive and convinced me to return to the field this coming summer—this time as a field researcher at Yasuní National Park, Ecuador. 17

In the summer of 2007, I was a volunteer excavator at the site of Abri Castanet, France under the direction of Dr. Randall White. I flew to France directly from Cyprus, where I had spent a month at the Yeronissos Island Expedition field school, extremely nervous about how different an ongoing excavation would be from the study season I had just participated in and, probably more so, whether living in a tiny two‐person tent for a month would be as difficult as it sounded. The excavation at Castanet was, in fact, not much different from my field school experience although excavation was expectedly a much larger part of the former. I had heard horror stories before about sites where educating student volunteers was in no way a priority and one ended the season with little more than an understanding of how to pitch a tent. Although tent‐pitching was among the many lessons learned at Castanet, it was clear to me from the very first day that everyone at the site was willing and eager to teach us about archaeology. We worked 5 and a half days a week rotating in groups between the on‐site lab and excavating, so that everyone did their fair share of processing artifacts and finding artifacts. This allowed me to participate in a wide range of techniques integral to any excavation from shooting in points with the Total Station, to marking artifacts, to wet‐sieving. More importantly though, everyone on site also made sure that we, the undergraduate students, knew why we were shooting points or wet sieving. I can honestly say it was the most intensive learning experience of my life; each activity came with lessons about the Upper Paleolithic, the archaeology of Southwest France, and archaeology in general. Even our days off were spent visiting nearby sites and, as the team was split more or less evenly between French and American excavators, each meal became an exercise in language immersion. I found my experience at Castanet so rewarding that I returned for the following season, 2008, and have plans to attend this summer as well. I am also currently working on a research project concerning Upper Paleolithic body ornaments that draws heavily on what I’ve learned, and continue to learn, at Castanet. 18 Student Experiences

This past summer, I spent five weeks working on a dig in Transylvania, Romania. It was my first field experience, and I was immediately immersed in the hands‐on nature of life in the field. The program I chose was the Dacian Fortress and Acropolis dig, an excavation of an Iron Age fortress in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. I applied for, and was honored to receive, a Ranieri Travel Grant (see page 9) to support my work on this dig. Camping for those weeks in Transylvania was an experience unlike any other. Exciting and exhausting days at the site, unforgettable nights around the campfire or in our tents listening to the night noises of the mountains. The first days of the excavations were tough for me‐ I'd never been on a dig before, had no idea what to do, and somehow managed to get hit in the head with a shovel. All my previous archaeological experience had taken place in a nice comfortable laboratory or classroom. But I learned fast, with the help of the professionals and the other volunteers. Excavating the fortress made me feel personally acquainted with the history of the region; we found weapon fragments, jewelry, and pottery made by both the native Dacians and the Romans who had invaded Dacia in the late Iron Age. A favorite find was part of a Roman chariot wheel. In our time off, we'd hunt for fossils in the river, hike the foothills, or make the long trek by foot to the nearby village of Racos. Weekends involved trips into the cities of Brasov, Bran, or Sighisoara, to see the archaeology museums (and of course, Dracula's castle!) Getting to know another country, working with archaeologists of countless different nationalities and backgrounds, and being exposed to life in the field combined to make this an incredibly valuable experience.

55 What’s going on at AUSA?

Mission Statement: We at AUSA strongly believe that anthropology is one of the most fascinating and accessible majors here at NYU. At its core, it is about understanding ourselves—hence, we are drawn to its pursuits because we all have a unique stake in its discoveries. AUSA’s mission is simple: to get the NYU student body as involved as possible, both inside and outside the classroom. We do this in a variety of ways—whether it’s arranging for discussions with faculty, providing an academic forum for research presentations, or simply meeting weekly and chatting about a variety of topics over a movie and free food. The following is a selection of events that AUSA helps host. You can find out more about AUSA’s events by visiting the website or by joining our mailing list.

Anthropology Undergraduate Research Conference: This semiannual research conference is hosted by the Anthropology Undergraduate Research Association (AURA). Students who have conducted research in all four fields of anthropology are encouraged to apply. Presentations are given in front of an audience consisting of faculty, graduate students, and fellow undergraduates, providing a unique forum for discussion and critique. Come see what your peers have been working on all this time!

Brown Bag Lecture Series: Every two weeks, a different anthropology professor speaks to us about his or her research over lunch. The atmosphere is informal—students are invited to interrupt, ask questions about any topic, eat lunch, or just sit back and listen. Free food is provided. Check our e‐mails or look for our flierst to find ou who is speaking next!

Graduate School Discussion: Join our panel of professors and current graduate students in discussing what it takes to earn an acceptance into a graduate school program. All members of the panel have been involved on one end of the application process recently and can offer insider tips and advice. Whether you are currently applying to graduate programs now or in the future, don’t miss out on this valuable resource! Free dinner is provided.

Film Fridays: These meetings are held on Fridays of almost every week. Films from each month fit into a different theme—topics range from gender and sexuality to indigenous peoples to evolution. Free pizza is provided following the film.
