"As an educator I believe in the importance of instructing young people in the necessity of preserving and documenting important places from our past. For me, the chance to participate in the archaeological excavation at Chance Gulch was an opportunity to assist in reconstructing past events. Working directly with Dr. Bonnie Pitblado and Beth Ann Camp, I was able to gain new knowledge and new insights in the area of archaeology. I am certain that my experience at Chance Gulch has greatly enhanced my ability to teach the subject matter to my students." |

Freeman, Volunteer 1999 - 2001" For me, Chance Gulch Site from the early survey, putting in test pits, to the big dig was one of the most rewarding times of my Volunteer Archaeological experiences. I learned so much from other volunteers, students and most of all Dr. Bonnie Pitblado and her assistant Beth Ann Camp. And amidst all this learning was the-fun!" |

Haberland & Barb Haberland "Hi, I'm Barb Haberland AKA the "Charcoal
Queen". My husband Carl and I are volunteers and have participated
in the Chance Gulch Project for three seasons. In 2000 Carl had
signed up for two weeks, before his time was up he had called raving
about the project and suggested that I join him and we ended staying
till the project closed down. In 2001 and 2002 we signed on for
the "Season". The Chance Gulch Project has been our first
choice for the past 2 years and working under the direction of Dr.
Bonnie and B.A. has not only been a great learning experience but
it has been fun. We look forward each season to seeing our dig friends.
You know a project is tops when everyone who participates wants
to come back the next year. We've become a "Family" who
grows each year with new members. Working with a multi-generational
crew has so many rewards. The "Crew" last year ranged
in ages from 16 to 70+ and all learned from each other."
Carl is a retired Computer Project Manager. Barb is a wife, mother and retired Bookkeeper. "We've led a nomad life having lived in 6 states, including 7 years in Hawaii, and two foreign countries. Our present home is in rural Westcliffe, Colorado. We are members of the Pueblo chapter of the Colorado Historical Society and have completed 9 of the classes offered under the Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification. We both have earned our Lab Technician trainee certificates and are working on projects leading to certification as Lab Technicians. Our projects are based on work completed at the Chance Gulch Site. Our experience also includes working on USFS archaeological projects for six seasons in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. We have over 1300 hours in excavating, 3000 hours of surveying and 96 hours of ceramic classification. Excavation is our favorite activity." P.S.
I was crowned the Charcoal Queen because of the number of charcoals
I mapped in unit ZZ1000 in 2001 and 2002. |
