On Monday, AAL #studentemployees and staff started survey on our #HistoricPreservationFund investigation of a portion of Salamonie River State Forest. This is how Ball State University students learn about the work of professional #archaeology. 1/4

Our motto is #LearnWorkDiscover and we provide #ExperientialLearning for our #StudentEmployees so they graduate with real research and field experience. To keep the AAL funded, we secure service contracts (#CRMArch) and grants from various sources. This is where the #ADHD comes in handy. 4/17

Unfortunately, my preferred research topics are not “sexy” enough to regularly get funding, so we cobble together whatever projects we think we can get funding for. We emphasize projects that will provide CRM-like #archaeology training for our #studentemployees, but also other topics. 7/17

Thanks to Ball State College of Sciences and Humanities for support & matching funds. More hands make light work, and all the support helps our #studentemployees prepare for successful careers!

We had lovely weather & scenery, which makes for a great time! #archaeology #HistoricPreservationFund 4/4

Today is #OneBallState day! Please consider donating to help lower barriers to #StudentEmployees doing #archaeology #fieldwork. #CRMArch can be challenging, but having the right gear shouldn't keep Ball State #students from #LearnWorkDiscover -ing! Any amount helps. #WeFly #ChirpChirp #ChertChert
