"Shadow Memories: The Archaeology of Civil War and Dictatorship in Spai"
Abstract:
"The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) has received some degree of international attention in recent years due to the belated upsurge of mass grave exhumations, usually conducted by grassroots associations with the help of archaeologists and anthropologists. The revelation of atrocities committed by the Nationalists during and after the war has been crucial in changing the popular image of the period. However, mass graves are just one material phenomenon of the conflict. In this talk, an archaeology of violence is proposed that covers the manifold facets of the war and the dictatorship: from the trenches of Madrid in November 1936 to the forced labor camps that were still in operation in the 1950s. The aim is to show the possibilities of the archaeology discipline to produce, from material remnants, an alternative narrative of the conflict. This talk is based on an archaeological project conducted between 2008 and 2012 in which battlefields, concentration camps and prisons of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975) were excavated all over the country."

"Local Jobs in Environmental Consulting"
Description: Ever think about getting paid to do environmental fieldwork? What about getting paid to do garbology?
To help UW students explore these options, the UW Garbology Project (UWGP) is hosting an afternoon discussion with the professionals at Cascadia Consulting Group, a Seattle-based environmental consulting firm and an industry leader in waste and sustainability studies. Cascadia staff will give the inside scoop on local careers with environmental companies, including practical details about how to prepare for environmental jobs, the types of work available with local environmental companies, and what it’s like to be a professional environmental consultant. Best of all, attendees will have the chance to cultivate a relationship with one of the area’s leading employers in the field of environmental consulting. Cascadia is always looking for capable people to hire for fieldwork, and those who attend may find real opportunity waiting for them.
This event takes place from 3:30-5:00 on Friday, May 31st from 3:30 to 5:00 in room 401 Denny Hall. It is part of the Friday Afternoon Archaeology Lecture Series (FAALS) and is co-sponsored by UW Recycling. All are welcome to attend.
