What’s Wrong with Field Schools? - Ep 286

Completing a field school is usually a requirement to get any job in CRM. The quality and cost of that field can vary dramatically depending on where you took it. What’s wrong with field schools these days? Do they teach you what you need to know to get a job in CRM? How can they do better? We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly about field schools on today’s episode.

Are Universities Underbidding CRM Projects? - Ep 199

Universities are in trouble in 2020. There were generally no field schools over the summer and in-person classes are a thing of the past. Also, many universities are not excepting graduate students until further notice. To continue to be a for-profit institution some are turning to field archaeology and CRM. What will that do to the business of archaeology? Doug Rocks-Macqueen leads the crew on that discussion this week.

SPECIAL - Field Schools - Episode 56.1

Today's show is a special episode all about Field Schools. Now is the time that thousands of people are trying to figure out what field school they should take over the summer. Should it be for fun? Should it be practical? Should you go abroad even though you're going into CRM? What should you learn? What shouldn't you learn?

Thanks for listening and we’ll see you in the field!!

Back to School - Episode 41

That's right. Everyone else is doing it...This show is different from the influx of Target and Walmart ads you've been seeing in that we have some useful information. Whether you're an undergrad, a graduate student, or are just plugging away in the field, there is good information for all.

Also, I don't always do this, but, for those that stay to the end there is usually some fun little sound bite. And, it's usually Bill.
