SGER: International Collaboration in the Industrial Archaeology of the Arctic

2004年8月，密歇根理工大学工业考古项目的一个教师和学生小组将对斯瓦尔巴群岛进行为期十天的访问。我们将与来自瑞典皇家理工学院、瑞典皇家科学院的学生和科学家以及来自俄罗斯、荷兰、英国和挪威的类似团队协调，开展一项研究和培训活动，重点关注冰湾地区20世纪初煤矿开采作业的遗迹。这一初步努力将作为新兴的工业考古学科今后合作事业的试点项目，对于将这一领域的范围扩大到北极的工业遗产将具有特别重要的意义。

A team of faculty and students from Michigan Technological University's Industrial Archaeology Program will make a ten-day visit to the archipelago of Svalbard in August 2004. In coordination with students and scientists from the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, and similar teams from Russia, Holland, Great Britain, and Norway, we will undertake a research and training exercise focused on the remains of early twentieth century coal mining operations in the Icefjord region. This initial effort will serve as a pilot project for future collaborative undertakings in the emerging discipline of industrial archaeology, and will be particularly crucial in expanding the scope of this field into the industrial heritage of the Arctic.
