Where and Why We Dig - Ep 204

The Future of Writing and Publishing in Archaeology - Ep 203

Grey literature is the term for CRM reports that languish behind restrictions in agency file cabinets. How do we change that? How do we talk about archaeology while maintaining confidentiality for our clients and native peoples who’s land we’re working on and exploring? It’s a tricky question that we try to answer on today’s episode. But first, the implications of space law on terrestrial archaeology.

Why We Do it - Ep 201

Today's episode is in response to a listener question in which the listener asked why we continue to do CRM even though we always talk about the hardships. What drives you? Is it a passion for history? A love of the outdoors? What drives you to settle for low per diem, bad pay, no benefits, and double-occupancy hotel room? Let us know in the comments.

Listener question: From James at NASA...As to what I would like to hear in CRM, as a member of the public, I would like to understand more of the reason people continue to work in the field despite the hardships. I mean, is there knowledge before they get a degree that this is hard when they do the field work? What is the dropout rate? Is it just in people’s blood to do this, like sailors who need to be on the ocean despite the risk? Also, fundamentally, is CRM just trying to meet regulations (do a job and get paid) or is it actually resulting in stopping/relocating the ventures that initiated them (highway, shopping mall, homes)?
