Interesting article

Here's a link to an interesting article on the impacts of neoliberal economic practices on U.S. workers that I stumbled upon recently. Kim Scipes, the author, is a noted labor sociologist; this is a topic that is very relevant to the situation of the working class in Hampden.

Also, keep your eyes out--the third field season of the Hampden Community Archaeology Project will officially begin next Monday, so the posts are sure to come more frequently for the duration of the summer! As always, we welcome anyone who wants to volunteer, either in the field or in the lab washing artifacts--just let us know.
