My blogger ID is JCSCHWAB [view my profile], and my two main interests are digital technology and archaeology (both apart from each other and together). Currently, I work in a writing center and information technology lab at a liberal arts university, hence my interest in digital technology. This blog is an attempt to explore both topics, and my own interests and opinions on each.

Now that I have a B.A. in Anthropology, the next step is to apply to graduate schools for an M.A. in Archaeology, with the intent of entering the field of cultural resource management. With my background in Anthropology, I'm very interested in the relationship of both digital technology and archaeology within a larger cultural framework. Feel free to contact me if you so desire.

Virtual Dig
Concordia University in Saint Paul, Minnesota, has created a Virtual Dig where students can follow along with excavations of a Byzantine church at Hippos. The site has a public face and a private face in the form of the digital classroom, for which registration is required. The online class learns what happens at the dig in as close to real time as they can without being part of the excavation.
