A Unique Journey to CRM with Maggie Barry - Ep 222

Maggie Barry didn't even know what CRM Archaeology was when she was in college at the University of Davis. Upon graduation with a degree in American Studies and a focus on Culture and Consumption, Maggie joined the Peace Corps and spent over two years in Botswana. When she came home she hiked the Pacific Crest Trail - a 2000+ hike along the west coast of the United States. She landed a few jobs in CRM some time later and is still working as an archaeologist. We talk to Maggie about her journey, what it taught her, and what it can teach others about their path to this unique lifestyle.

The Realities of Pay Scales in Context of Scoping and Bidding Work - Ep 219

There has been quite a bit of talk on social media recently centering on pay scales for archaeologists and how the average rate should be/can be increased to meet a threshold that is livable and commensurate with experience and skills. There are some that assume that upper management is out to cheat the average arch tech. Although that may be true in some cases, the subject is much more complex than just an arbitrary decision or pay. The only way to improve the current climate with respect to pay is to understand the driving forces behind pay rates. Understanding the nuances may not only improve your chances of being paid more, it will improve your overall professional well-being.
