characterization of paint layers and fiber-based materials, and the
identification of wood species of structural elements to enable the
development of a conservation treatment plan.
Techniques available to conduct analysis and imaging during the internship
include photogrammetry, UV-Vis Fluorescence, IR, RTI, PXRF, FT-IR, and PLM
and LM.
Placement dates for the internship are between June 3 and August 16, 2019

Archaeologist (Diver)
Open to a few:
https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/516259800
In this position you will serve as an Archeologist with the Submerged Resources Center (SRC) with duties consisting primarily of underwater archeological documentation and analysis and marine remote sensing survey and documentation of submerged cultural resources throughout the National Park System and with partner agencies on a state, national and international level. Because of equipment intensive field operations are done under the water, incumbent will be around water bodies involved in diving and boating activities. Because almost all field operations involve work in parks, you will be expected to travel extensively (e.g. up to seven months per years) and sometimes for long durations (e.g. 90 days or more). You will be expected to engage in diving operations, classified by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as hazardous duty.

Underwater Archaeology Volunteers
http://divemagazine.co.uk/skills/8289-volunteers-needed-for-hms-invincible-excavation
The UK’s Maritime Archaeology Sea Trust (MAST), in partnership with Bournemouth University, is calling for volunteers to assist with cleaning, recording and preserving artefacts during the underwater excavation of HMS Invincible 1744.
Invincible, built by the French in 1744 and captured by the Royal Navy in 1747, sank in the Solent in 1758. Her special design, unique lines and 74-gun capacity were copied and her class became the model for the Royal Navy’s fleet until sailing vessels were replaced by steamships.
Since 2017, a dedicated team of archaeological divers guided by Dan Pascoe, the site’s licensee, has been working against time in the Solent to reveal the wreck’s secrets in what MAST describe as ‘the country’s most significant maritime archaeology project since the 1980s’.

Jobs and Skills in Underwater Archaeology
New Blog post from the ACUA:
I would add in addition to being a terrestrial archaeologist first you also need need to understand and learn marine geophysics. Go offshore, learn how to do marine survey, make money. Read back through this blog and get a job doing marine survey. You will be much more valuable to employers. Do it for 28 days. Do one or two rotations. My Friday two cents.
