Overview
This internship is with the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park, WY. As the world’s first National Park, Yellowstone is considered the “crown jewel” of the National Park Service. At 2.2 million acres, it is home to a variety of environments and terrain ranging from high altitude deserts, plateaus and mountains ranges, to river valleys, lodge pole pine forest, and volcanic/thermally active areas. It is also home to a variety of natural and cultural resources, including wildlife such as grizzly and black bears, wolves, bison, elk and pronghorn antelope. The history of human occupation in the park goes back ~12,000 years before present, and includes Native American and Euro-american presence through time. The majority of archaeological sites in the park are pre-contact, but the historical period is also well represented. Yellowstone National Park has about 2000 historic and prehistoric archeological sites currently documented with about 3% of the park inventoried. It is estimated that the park contains about 350,000 sites. Yellowstone currently has one Archaeologist (who will supervise the intern), and will likely have anywhere from 1-3 additional volunteers/interns during the summer.
Position Description
An intern in archeology at Yellowstone National Park will have various duties which support the group’s inventory, monitoring, and evaluation of archeological resources within the park. The intern will have a 40 hour work week, Mondays-Thursdays from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. There is the potential for some overnight stays in dorm facilities in other park locations or backcountry camping depending on project needs/logistics, and compensation (in the form of time off) for any additional hours worked during these extended projects will be determined by the Archaeologist and discussed ahead of time with the intern.
Field survey is among the most important duties and involves visiting archeological sites with the field team. The intern will have various field duties, such as taking field notes, drawing sketch maps, preparing condition assessments, taking photos, and operating a GPS/Trimble unit. Filed duties may also include digging shovel test pits or excavation units, screening material and recording/collecting artifacts, and recording soil profiles. Site locations can be as close as one mile or as far as 75 miles from the home office, and reaching sites often requires significant time hiking or driving (in a government vehicle).
Another important part of the intern’s duties will be carried out in the lab. The intern will help to collect information for new fieldwork from the maps and site files in the lab, prepare archeological site forms, draft site maps/work with ArcMap and the GIS division, and help with processing, analyzing and cataloging artifacts for the Museum. Additionally, the intern will enter photos and associated data into the archeology lab’s new photo database. This digital database includes site pictures for field sites all around the park.
Qualifications
This internship is open to all currently enrolled Stanford students. The intern must be able to work well both independently and as a member of a team. The intern must be in good physical condition and must be able to hike moderate distances at high elevations and carrying heavy loads up to 30 lbs.
Completion of a basic archeology course is required. Pursuit of a degree or minor focus in archaeology or anthropology, and/or documented interest in either discipline is highly recommended.
The intern must be comfortable living in a small town environment for ten weeks. Access to a personal vehicle during the internship is required.

<p>This position is a field and laboratory based internship with the Archaeology program in Yellowstone National Park, based out of the Heritage and Research Center in Gardiner, MT.</p>
This internship is with the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park, WY. As the world’s first National Park, Yellowstone is considered the “crown jewel” of the National Park Service. At 2.2 million acres, it is home to a variety of environments and terrain ranging from high altitude deserts, plateaus and mountains ranges, to river valleys, lodge pole pine forest, and volcanic/thermally active areas. It is also home to a variety of natural and cultural resources, including wildlife such as grizzly and black bears, wolves, bison, elk and pronghorn antelope. The history of human occupation in the park goes back ~12,000 years before present, and includes Native American and Euro-american presence through time. The majority of archaeological sites in the park are pre-contact, but the historical period is also well represented. Yellowstone National Park has about 2000 historic and prehistoric archeological sites currently documented with about 3% of the park inventoried. It is estimated that the park contains about 350,000 sites. Yellowstone currently has one Archaeologist (who will supervise the intern), and will likely have anywhere from 1-3 additional volunteers/interns during the summer.

An intern in archeology at Yellowstone National Park will have various duties which support the group’s inventory, monitoring, and evaluation of archeological resources within the park. The intern will have a 40 hour work week, Mondays-Thursdays from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. There is the potential for some overnight stays in dorm facilities in other park locations or backcountry camping depending on project needs/logistics, and compensation (in the form of time off) for any additional hours worked during these extended projects will be determined by the Archaeologist and discussed ahead of time with the intern.
Field survey is among the most important duties and involves visiting archeological sites with the field team. The intern will have various field duties, such as taking field notes, drawing sketch maps, preparing condition assessments, taking photos, and operating a GPS/Trimble unit. Filed duties may also include digging shovel test pits or excavation units, screening material and recording/collecting artifacts, and recording soil profiles. Site locations can be as close as one mile or as far as 75 miles from the home office, and reaching sites often requires significant time hiking or driving (in a government vehicle).
Another important part of the intern’s duties will be carried out in the lab. The intern will help to collect information for new fieldwork from the maps and site files in the lab, prepare archeological site forms, draft site maps/work with ArcMap and the GIS division, and help with processing, analyzing and cataloging artifacts for the Museum. Additionally, the intern will enter photos and associated data into the archeology lab’s new photo database. This digital database includes site pictures for field sites all around the park.

Summary:
<p>This position is a field and laboratory based internship with the Archaeology program in Yellowstone National Park, based out of the Heritage and Research Center in Gardiner, MT.</p>
Organizational Overview:
<p>This internship is with the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park, WY. As the world’s first National Park, Yellowstone is considered the “crown jewel” of the National Park Service. At 2.2 million acres, it is home to a variety of environments and terrain ranging from high altitude deserts, plateaus and mountains ranges, to river valleys, lodge pole pine forest, and volcanic/thermally active areas. It is also home to a variety of natural and cultural resources, including wildlife such as grizzly and black bears, wolves, bison, elk and pronghorn antelope. The history of human occupation in the park goes back ~12,000 years before present, and includes Native American and Euro-american presence through time.

It is estimated that the park contains about 350,000 sites. Yellowstone currently has one Archaeologist (who will supervise the intern), and will likely have anywhere from 1-3 additional volunteers/interns during the summer.</p>
Position Description:
<p>An intern in archeology at Yellowstone National Park will have various duties which support the group’s inventory, monitoring, and evaluation of archeological resources within the park. The intern will have a 40 hour work week, Mondays-Thursdays from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. There is the potential for some overnight stays in dorm facilities in other park locations or backcountry camping depending on project needs/logistics, and compensation (in the form of time off) for any additional hours worked during these extended projects will be determined by the Archaeologist and discussed ahead of time with the intern.</p>
