I seem to be an archaeologist for pay again  
I won't say that it's an entirely done deal but I had a 2.5 hour meeting today with a good friend (whom I owe a really nice meal out and undying gratitude) and the board of a local archaeology non-profit. They need someone to be in charge of field labs, who can program in VBA, and who has experience as a material culture analyst. It has been a reeeeeeeeally long time since I was paid to be an archaeologist but I appear to meet their needs. It's contract work, which is not something I've enjoyed in the past, but the work that the foundation is doing is fascinating and it would be working for the public good so I am willing to reconsider.

Thank you. :) We're in a holding pattern until they get word about 2 different grants. They're very optimistic about getting them (hence the talking to potential contractors) because the Texas Historical Commission and the State Historian are involved in supporting the grant apps but until the grants are announced, we're in planning stages.
