2019 CRM Arch.jpeg

On today's episode Chris, Stephen and Doug talk about the responsibility of recording history as it's happening around us. As the US explodes in protest over the murder of George Floyd archaeologists are wondering what to do about contentious history. What do we do with all the statues that really should come down? What do we do about the graffiti that is being created right now that represents the thoughts and emotions of protestors? These are tough questions and we try to answer them on this episode.

Sundown Towns - America's Forgotten History - Dig It 6

2020 I Dig It NAMES.jpeg

This episode we discuss a major part of American history that has been omitted from most history book across the United States. As having anthropological backgrounds which saw some of the beginnings of institutionalized racism, it is important to address history that has been brushed under the rug. This is seen with Sundown Towns. There were thousands of these towns across the United States dominating counties, cities, towns, suburbs... With current events regarding human rights and curfews, it is important to bring awareness to this "forgotten" history found in America.

NEPA 2020 with Dr. Tom King - CRMArch 190

2019 CRM Arch.jpeg

Today, the CRM Archaeology Podcast has the distinct honor of having as our guest cohost, Dr. Thomas King. Dr. King has been a giant in the field of heritage and cultural resource management for over 50 years and has not only been responsible for the education of countless students of CRM through his prolific authorship, but has had a hand in many of the laws and regulations we as CRM practitioners exercise everyday. Notably, Dr. King and his wife, Dr. Patricia Parker, while employed by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation in Washington DC from 1979-1989, wrote the National Register Bulletin 38, which has served as a U.S. government guideline document employed by many indigenous groups and local communities to protect their cultural heritage from destructive government projects. Dr. King's most recent book, Cultural Resource Management: A Collaborative Primer for Archaeologists, is an elegant and concise introduction to CRM aimed at emerging archaeologists. Although, it could be argued, since we should all be continuous students of all aspects of this discipline, that this book is an essential pocket guide to any level of archaeologist who respects the interdisciplinary and public policy elements of CRM.
