DESCRIPTION:-------- WEDS TALKS: ARIZONA'S STATEWIDE ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT
 : WPA  EMPLOYMENT, EXPERTISE, AND ARCHAEOLOGY [1] ----------------------
 ----\n\n**\n\n*ABSTRACT:* This talk will explore Arizona's WPA-funded Stat
 ewide  Archaeological Project, which sponsored archaeological research at
  5 separate  locations across the state between 1938 -1940. Archival recor
 ds at the  Arizona State Museum reveal significant insights into the proje
 ct, which  employed individuals under four primary payment/skill categori
 es including  unskilled, intermediate, skilled, and professional/techni
 cal classifications.  Built on job titles previously defined by the federa
 l government, these were  expanded during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New
  Deal. Job titles and  descriptions developed during this period continue 
 to have ramifications for  federal archaeological and conservation positio
 ns, as well as compensatory  rates in the 21st century. The role of exper
 tise and skill utilized by WPA  employees in archaeological research produ
 ced by the Statewide Archaeological  Project is examined, as well as thei
 r impact on subsequent archaeological  results/products.\n\n*BIO**:* Dr. C
 aitlin R. O’Grady is a conservator and conservation scientist  specializin
 g in analysis and preservation of archaeological materials. She is  curren
 tly Assistant Professor in the UCLA Department of Anthropology and  UCLA/G
 etty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage. In this  capacity,
  she teaches and advises undergraduate and graduate students in  Anthropol
 ogy and Conservation, as well as conducts research in the history of  con
 servation and archaeology disciplines, and pottery  manufacture/degradati
 on.\n\nDate: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n
