If you have just discovered this blog and the Utah Pottery Project, you may not be aware that you could help support the archaeological fieldwork and research!
We can always use donations of cash (fully tax deductible, of course!) which we use as scholarship funds and as matching funds for institutional grants. If you'd like to donate money to support this summer's field work and the subsequent analysis, you can go to the Utah Pottery Project donation page here:
http://www.social.mtu.edu/faculty/Scarlett/Research/UPP/UPPsupport.htmThere are lots of opportunities to support the project through gifts of badly needed supplies. I include a list of some examples below.
This first list includes material urgently needed for this summer's excavation of the Thomas and Sarah Davenport pottery site in Parowan, Utah. You can have materials sent to the Iron Mission Museum in Cedar City, and they will hold them until someone from the project team can pick them up:

Photo supplies and archive:
We need color slide film and archival storage materials. 35 mm color slide (transparency) film serves the critical purpose of high-quality backup of digital excavation photos. Our digital photos are of high enough quality that we no longer shoot black and white print film as part of regular excavation recording.

Non-archival Storage Boxes::
All the artifacts are “Bagged and Tagged” in the field. We put all the bags into boxes to transport them to the lab. In the field we use regular boxes, but once cleaned and processed, everything must be put into archival storage boxes for long-term storage.
