For the MA, those GRE scores don't actually strike me as too bad. Although quant is low... The real problem seems to be that it's a low GRE in conjunction with a low GPA. Except for the summer, even you "other semesters" aren't stellar. I wonder if doing very well in a Calc course might impress departments? Just a thought. You seem to have the right drive, so I suspect it might be doable.

Anthropologygeek is exactly right...

To begin with, you should realize that there's a decent chance this was just bad luck (i.e., wrong schools, wrong time) but I get the impression you already know that. Times are hard for getting into grad school. However, SOPs can always be improved. How broadly and how "prestigious" did you apply? You are probably making a mistake only talking to close to home CRM firms. Bigger companies (i.e., Berger, some of the TRC offices, etc.) often run large hotel-based projects, as do smaller companies occasionally. The way to land a CRM job is to apply aggressively to jobs posted on shovel bums and archaeologyfieldwork.com AND to cold Email companies who can put your C.V. on file. It's my belief that entering a PhD program in any sort of archaeology without having first worked some CRM is a bad idea. First, you are likely to end up working CRM, like it or not. Second, if you end up being an academic, at least in the U.S. or Canada, you are going to be dealing with data generated by CRM, so you should have some cursory concept of how that data is generated. Some companies offer internships, I believe, but I don't know much about these programs (I would certainly consider them in your position). Any chance of TAing at one of the fieldschools you did previously? This is a great way to get more research experience (and perhaps land a small pet project). How about volunteering in the lab? Finally, it's good to apply to the granting programs (NSF, Javits, etc). I wouldn't rule out applying this year, but I would try desperately to get more experience.

Incidentally, although rankings of programmes are only available as the NRC list, there are impact ratings for individual anthropology journals, which may help you to gauge the impact of individual faculty members. Of course, you should use your judgement here, because if you are going into graduate school in a particular area of anthropology, you should already have some idea of who the best and brightest are. But in terms of gauging an entire departments publishing profile, the list linked here might be useful. http://sciencewatch.com/dr/sci/09/oct25-09_2/

In anthropological archaeology, no, probably not, but most PhD programs do have a language reading requirement.

If I remember correctly, Rutgers anthro has always been pretty top notch in terms of 4-field takes on topics that are "evolutionary" at least in terms of epistemology. I've always though Schrire is particularly good. The University as a whole has allegedly suffered with its entrance into big-time NCAA sports (there's a book about it: Confessions of a Spoilsport)--but so have a lot of large public schools.
