Roll The Dice on Archaeology - CRMArch 134

Archaeology Careers and Jobs

Stephen Wagner guest hosts this week's show and is joined by Doug Rocks-Macqueen and special guest Bill Auchter. Bill rolls the dice on a DnD-style random encounters table that Stephen has matched to topics in archaeology. They roll the dice for each new topic and come up with a great show. Here's what's discussed:

 - Dragon's Hoard: Curation
 - Sunset: The end of the road for projects and documents
 - Sequestered Monks: Published Materials
 - Geomancer: Spatial Data
 - The Gorgon: Permanence and your archaeological career

SHA2018 and Sustainable Preservation with the Society of Black Archaeologists - CRMarch 129

CRMArch-1 2017.jpg

The 2018 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology took place in New Orleans at the beginning of January. Bill White was there and he brings on two colleagues, Dr. Ayana Flewellen and Dr. Justin Dunnavant. They talk about their takeaways from the conference. Bill, Ayana, and Justin also talk about their work in St. Croix over the winter and about working in an area deeply affected by hurricanes and a lack of people to do preservation work. However, they mention that people on the island are working in their own communities to preserve their history.
