On today's episode we bring on a special guest, Chris Simms from the Go Dig A Hole blog. Chris, Stephen, and I discuss soil horizons. What are they? What do they mean? What do you need to know? We also do a tear down of a poorly written job post and discuss how the post should have been written to be more effective.

Morale and Monitoring - Episode 61

crm podcast 4.jpg

On todays episode we Stephen, Doug, and Chris talk about ways to increase, or decrease, crew morale. It's an important topic and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. If the crew isn't happy then the project simply won't run smoothly. This can result in crew members quitting and not wanting to work there again, budget overruns, or many other terrible things. It's a big deal.

We also talk about monitoring. What should you do? What shouldn't you do? Seems pretty straight forward, but, there are a lot of complexities and issues that people new to monitoring might not have thought about.

Fire Archaeology - Episode 57

On today's episode we've assemble a panel of Forest Service and NPS archaeologists that specialize in preserving and recording cultural resources before and after natural and intentional forest fires. This is a unique perspective in the world of archaeology and they've got the experience to back it up. Working on one of these crews sounds like a great alternative to the usual field season for the average traveling field tech. Check it out!

CRMArch Podcast Extra - Episode 56.1.1

Here's a short piece about the websites for Shovelbums and Archaeology Fieldwork that was cut from episode 56.1. It's a great story and I thought it should be included.

Enjoy!
