Research suggests that USA-based universities are in danger of failing to train enough students to meet the demand for archaeologists in the coming years. There are numerous reasons for this, including the growing demand on faculty time coupled with dwindling resources. Simultaneously, many federal agencies are eager to form partnerships with universities. These developments present an opportunity to meet the demand for future archaeologists, provide collaborative approaches for university faculty to train these students, and assist federal agencies with their own growing demands to ethically identify, document, and preserve section 106 resources. This workshop brings together academic and federal archaeologists to discuss these potentials based on past experiences. The four-hour workshop will be part panel discussion, part brainstorming, and part meet-and-greet to establish a network of academic-federal partners.
