Register of Professional Archaeologists

We are proud to partner with the Register of Professional Archaeologists and offer graduating CFS students one year of free student-level RPA membership. Students may use this membership upon graduation from our field school or postpone its activation to the time when you graduate with their BA/BS degree. This free RPA membership offer is valid for up to three years past the date of field school completion and for the Student-Level RPA membership only.

We encourage students to explore work options in the Cultural Resource Management sector – one of the most rewarding and well-paying careers possible. A field school and RPA membership will help in competing for the best and highest paying CRM jobs. RPA offers several benefits, including continued education, mentorship options & conflict resolution.

If you wish to find CRM jobs, we recommend the Twin Cairns site – the largest CRM Job Board in the US with both private sector and government CRM job posts. If you wish to explore national wage rates and other CRM job related information in the US, see the Twin Cairns Intelligence Unit Monthly Job Report, a free service. The Twin Cairns Intelligence Unit Quarterly Job Report offers regional, more granular employment, wage and benefits data, available for download for a fee.
