The Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab) at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard is seeking a student for a paid internship.  The intern will work within the park’s Public Archaeology program, assisting staff archaeologists in working with the public to excavate pre-contact and 19th-century sites on the park grounds. The fieldwork portion of this program will be held on Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays in May/early June. After completion of the fieldwork, the intern will wash, label, and catalog artifacts excavated during the field session, and do data entry for the project.  Some additional archaeological lab work may consist of learning skills in GIS and photogrammetry.  

This internship will give students valuable archaeological field and lab skills that could be applied to their future education or a career in museums or archaeology.  The internship pays $16.50/hour for 400 hours of work.  It will run through the late spring and early fall of 2024, but the weekly schedule can be flexible once the May/early June fieldwork has been completed.  If students want class credit for the internship, we will work with their College/University to try to make that happen.

If you know of any students interested in the MAC Lab internship, they can send a resume to Scott Strickland at [log in to unmask] or call 410-586-8554 for more information.  Applications will be accepted until March 8, 2024.  Applicants must have transportation and be eligible to live/work in the United States.
