Robin Lacey joins this episode to talk about her research at Ferryland Burial Ground in Newfoundland. Her work pulls from a diverse range of skills, methods, and approaches. Lacey explains the background of the site and provides a regional context for British colonialism in the mid- to north-Atlantic in North America.Lacey’s discussion of her research questions and the process of creating a research design is particularly insightful - What began as a project to find the burials at Ferryland rapidly expanded to a novel adaptation of landscape theory, which she refers to as “burial landscapes”.Related to this overview of Lacey’s research, the conversation In the end, the take-aways for early career researchers, Lacey urges, are to build skills in research and writing, and to go dig a hole. That is, pick up field experience early and often, as it sets the foundation for a strong and well-rounded archaeologist.

Colin Omilanowski is back to discuss why archaeology is sometimes aligned more with history, rather than anthropology, and why archaeology is sometimes in its own place.I try to give a brief history of the intellectual traditions that shaped archaeology since its origins without giving into the rant too much and spinning out of control. I highlight archaeology's roots in imperialism and racism, the critical social theory that stemmed from Marxism and feminism that shaped radical change in the mid twentieth century, and the discipline's pivot in recent decades to contemporary and future applications.Omilanowski highlights archaeology's relevance to present situations by relating a couple examples from archaeology that bear strong echoes in current events.We also talk about what the "millennials are killing everything" trope says about society from an archaeological perspective, and briefly talk about the impacts Hurricane Harvey will have on our society.Closing this episode, Omilanowski recounts his summer in the field, from Portugal and Romania. I also recount what I've been up to with Codifi, including a recent trip to Hawaii to assist with an excavation project.

GDAH Ep33 - Locating Archaeology

"Public archaeology is knowing which questions we can ask", Dr. Matt Sanger explains. He elaborates on the importance of understanding that archaeologists have the authority to assign facts, but that they need to relinquish authority over assigning value.Dr. Matthew Sanger is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Binghamton University in New York, and co-director of the department's Master of Arts in Public Archaeology (MAPA) degree program. He joins this episode of the Go Dig a Hole podcast to discuss the program, public archaeology, and the state of archaeology in much larger contexts.I open the episode with a couple questions I've asked other archaeologists:How did you get into archaeology?What has kept you in the field?Sanger explains the experiences he shared with his grandfather during his childhood had a profound impact on his decision to pursue archaeology as a career. He also briefly introduces some of his research on Archaic societies in the coastal Southeastern United States, which sets up some of the directions Sanger has taken his exploration of public archaeology.“Public archaeology” is a term that gets thrown around a lot, especially lately as some archaeologists have become more vocal about the harm of isolating heritage from the people impacted by it. But what make public archaeology, public? Sanger explains that, on a broad level, public archaeology is any time archaeology leaves academia and reaches another audience. As he elaborates through the conversation in this episode, though, we learn there is much more to it.For prospective students, it’s key to understand the end result of a program. That’s something that’s often not clearly communicated in other programs. From the MAPA program website:The focus of the program is the intersection between archaeology and the many organizations that have a stake in the management, protection, study and conservation of the archaeological record. As such, graduates can expect to find careers in private environmental, engineering, energy, and architectural firms, and governmental sectors, such as federal, state, tribal, and local agencies. With training, MAPA students can also prepare themselves for careers in agencies that define policies for educational initiatives, heritage organizations that work directly with descendant communities, institutions that award and administer grants, and museums that are both privately and publicly funded.The key there is reading between the lines to know that public archaeology is adaptable and applicable to a wide variety of career paths - many of them outside traditional archaeology or anthropology jobs. One of the biggest worries about archaeology is pumping out degrees for jobs that may not exist. It’s refreshing to see a thoughtful approach to training early career archaeologists to seek jobs outside the box.Sanger explains in greater detail the kinds of assignments and training MAPA students receive in the two-year, thesis-driven program. The true north that guides all of this is a mission to make the field more relevant, to take archaeology "where people live".

GDAH ARCHIVE Ep19 - Archaeology with Oregon’s Coquille Tribe

Daniel Kwan joins the GDAH podcast for the final episode of 2017. Over the course of this year both he and I have done a lot and been through a lot, and shared much of it on each other's podcasts (check out Kwan's podcast Curiosity in Focus).Each year's end is a time for introspection and reflection, and 2017 sure has had a lot to warrant reflection. Kwan and I discuss the big changes and moves we've undergone over the past year, and it's important that he joined the podcast for the final episode of the year because we began the year by forming a friendship that has energized and sustained each other's work through collaboration. Both of us have been very busy and, as workaholics like us will tell you, it's often difficult to turn it off. However, if you can't have a gratifying personal life, then what it is all for? So we touch briefly on the importance of work/life balance, and making time for your loved ones.For Kwan, the year has brought the conclusion of his doctoral dissertation and loads of publications stemming from his research on the rise of ceramic technologies in ancient China. It has also brought a lot of work outside academia. It may surprise many to hear that Kwan's next career path probably won't include a hunt for tenure-track professorships. Instead, he plans to grow his newly formed business ventures in tabletop gaming, counseling, and podcasting.For me, the year has brought an engagement to my now-fiancé, some big shifts for Go Dig a Hole like forming it into a nonprofit, big moves with Codifi, and exploring new directions in my personal and professional life.

GDAH Ep42 - Always Be Grinding

This episode was originally aired sometime in 2015 on The Archaeology Podcast Network. It has been edited for content and sound as a rebroadcast without their branding or advertisements. I’ve said this before as I’ve re-edited some of the other archive episodes, but it’s an interesting experience to go back in time for the Go Dig a Hole podcast and take stock of how much I’ve grown as an archaeologist, and as a podcaster in the past several years. When I was in undergrad, and even in grad school, I didn’t have many opportunities to learn about Native American tribal consultation. Similarly, I didn’t encounter tribal consultation as part of cultural resource management until I moved from Kentucky to Oregon, where coordination with Native American tribes is much more common, and also my roles as an archaeologist have changed to where it’s been essential for me to learn about and build relationships with tribes in the area. So, the last few years have been a learning process for me to say the least. When I first had this conversation with Jessica Yaquinto of Living Heritage Anthropology, who also co-hosts the Heritage Voices podcast, I was really new to the whole thing. I still have a lot to learn, but this podcast episode marks somewhat of a starting point for me in learning about tribal consultation. For more about this super important aspect of anthropological archaeology, I recommend checking out the entire catalog of episodes at the Heritage Voices podcast. There are a lot of important indigenous perspectives shared there, and they’re chock full of knowledge.Jessica Yaquinto joins host, Christopher Sims, in this episode to chat about working with tribes. Her work through her company, Living Heritage, and affiliation with other organizations lets her use the full range of skills available to anthropological archaeology. She guides listeners through key concepts in working with Native American communities from the very beginning, and explores what it would take to build a more inclusive archaeology - one that includes Native voices.LINKS:Living Heritage Anthropologyhttp://livingheritageanthropology.org/Heritage Voices Podcasthttp://livingheritageanthropology.org/heritage-voices-podcast

GDAH Ep58 - The Spring Thaw

Happy Thanksgiving, ya bunch of Turkeys! This holiday is a time when people recite nationalist fairy tales. Take a moment to learn about the indigenous peoples of the United States, acknowledge what they've been through, and make space for their voices. I acknowledge the Multnomah and Chinookan people of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. They are a testament to resilience and resistance against genocide and settler colonialism in one of the largest urban centers in North America.These things are time sensitive but if you're reading this in time, then LET'S DO SOME DIRECT ACTION, Y'ALL!Our National Parks are in trouble and so are we. In a nutshell:NPS employees have a huge backlog of maintenance tasks and not enough funding, resources, or personnel to do themThe Trump administration proposes a park entry fee hike to cover the funding gap. Funding parks is good and we should do that - but the way they’re going about it is craven, disgusting, and disingenuous.They’re placing the burden on consumers - people visiting parks - to pick up the slack for an administration that has demonstrated time and again they want to concentrate wealth for elites and punish the middle and working classes.It’s a band-aid that will never stick.It will directly limit chances for students, families, and travelers.The administration wants to let unsustainable, extractive industries ransack parks for natural resources and this is a clear play in that direction.Go online - https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?documentID=83652 - remind links are in show notes at godigahole.comComments open until Dec 22 - tell them it’s a bad idea.If the rate hike does go through, the annual parks pass will be the way to go - instead of paying $70 or more to enter a single park for a single day, you’ll be able to pay $80 for the whole year to enter all the parks.Our Internet is also in trouble. If you enjoy free, independent podcasts like Go Dig a Hole, the proposed repeal of Net Neutrality is going to bum you out. It’s not just a despicable authoritarian power grab that limits free speech on the internet, it will dramatically decrease communication, innovation, and information while consolidating power and wealth. Millions have already spoken up about it and apparently that’s not enough to stop the FCC. Cool. Don’t let that happen. Call your representatives and demand they reject the repeal of Net Neutrality.Assuming our internet doesn’t slide farther into the hellworld timeline, online tools are good for archaeology. I recently gave a paper at the annual Chacmool conference on this and there, I focused on the teaching aspects of using podcasts, blogs, and social media for archaeology. So, I’ll share some of that here as well as relate it to students and professionals.Stay tuned for a deep dive into this subject with an upcoming publication, but this episode is just a brief solo discussion on podcasts, blogs, and social media, and their usefulness in communicating archaeology.

GDAH Ep40 - Parks, Podcasts, and Presenting Archaeology

Matt Tuttle

Matt Tuttle is back for the first episode recorded from the Stream PDX Airstream!The last time Tuttle was on GDAH (Episode xx on the APN archives), we talked about his "origin story" and some helpful advice on getting the most out of your experiences in the field and in the classroom. His takeaway point then, as it is now, is "you have to put in your time" - but this time elaborates that, while putting in your time, it's also important to take moments to appreciate where you are. Indeed, it's easy to get lost in the grind and at times it feels like baby steps for years on end, until one day you look back and realize how much has changed.Tuttle works both as an independent cultural resources contractor, and as an educator and archaeological site steward with Christopher Newport University. He runs the archaeological field school through CNU, and has recently excavated the Amblers Site at Jamestown and a historic colonial site in Isle of Wight County. The Chesapeake Bay region is rich with historic colonial sites but, as Tuttle points out, there is much more to the story of early American cultural heritage. His experience at the Amblers Site highlights the crucial role of scientific method and solid research design in archaeology - they identified a circular feature in the soil, which they hypothesized was a historic well shaft. Upon further investigation, the dark circular soil revealed numerous pre-contact Native American items, including stone tools and debitage. Does this mean they were wrong? Not necessarily, but it certainly required a revision of the hypothesis to test if this could be a Native American pit house. Carbon dating and artifact type morphology confirmed this hypothesis, and nailed down relative dates of roughly 1,250 years before present. This is a great example of problem solving in the puzzle of archaeology.On a less uplifting note, Tuttle discusses vandalism that occurred at the Isle of Wight site and the need for an integrated approach to public archaeology engagement that combines education for the public as well as involvement with local law enforcement. Essentially, if the illegality of vandalism isn't a deterrent from site destruction, then perhaps better public engagement can foster respect and appreciation for cultural heritage.Follow Matt Tuttle on social media, especially if you enjoy seeing the cleanest profiles and floors ever.

GDAH Ep36 - Historic Colonial Archaeology w/ Matt Tuttle

Daniel Kwan (host of the Curiosity in Focus podcast) joins this episode of GDAH to continue our conversation about archaeology in pop culture. In this, Kwan and I cover some examples of archaeology in TV, games (board and video), and music.Kwan, being a pop culture aficionado, blasts through a list of TV shows portraying archaeology in various ways. It is the portrayal of archaeology and archaeologists that says something important about attitudes toward the discipline. From Star Trek's even-handed application of cultural relativism in the Star Fleet's "prime directive", to Hank Hill's indignant frustration with an archaeologist who ruins his yard in King of the Hill, views on archaeology's relevance as a discipline and archaeologists' credibility as stewards of cultural resources run wide.Shifting to games, we give a nod to the pioneers of Archaeogaming - researchers examining the way archaeology is presented in games, and the ways archaeological theory and method can be applied to built virtual environments, the code itself, and the physical material of game packaging. As for archaeology in board games, Kwan relates examples of archaeological theory and method being applied to tabletop role playing games like Dungeons &amp; Dragons and Coriolis.We take two approaches to discussing archaeology in music - one is the role music plays in our experience in the field; the other covers references to archaeology or the products of its research in song. I mention my secret love of reggae and reggaeton, and how I actually used to hate it until years of working in the Caribbean/Central American nation of Belize got me hooked. There’s a song by Damian Marley (son of Bob Marley) &amp; Nas called “Patience” that references ancient culture, oral traditional knowledge, archaeologists, Indiana Jones, and makes a call against the hangovers of colonialism - a recurring theme in reggae and Rastafarianism. At one point, Nas says “discovering the world before this world, buried in time, uncovered in rhyme”. The music video kinda rules too.Turning to one of my favorite bands, I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since this album came out - “Luminiferous” by High on Fire. I was floored when I read this interview with guitarist/singer, Matt Pike, who full-on believes aliens have been among humans since Ancient Sumer. Stoner and Doom metal are subgenres that are rife with references to ancient cultures and pseudoarchaeological claims to the occult. Some of my favorite bands in this style, like The Sword or Electric Wizard, often make (cheesy) references to either real or imaginary ancient material culture to relate themes of power, violence, and life experience in current real-world settings.There are also passing references in a couple Modest Mouse songs to archaeology. I can’t find the link to the interview but their lead singer, Isaac Brock, apparently studied anthropology in school before graduating with an Associates Degree.If you enjoy Go Dig a Hole, share it with your friends, students, and teachers.

GDAH Ep61 - What Happens to Land When Archaeologists Do Stuff To It?

Katie Tipton

Introducing Our GuestsTia Cody recently graduated from the Anthropology Masters program at Portland State University. Her thesis, titled LIDAR Predictive Modeling of Kalapuya Mound Sites in the Callapooia Watershed, Oregon, uses geospatial approaches to analyze settlement patterns in a culturally significant region south of Salem, Oregon near Brownsville.Katie Tipton is a grad student at Portland State University who’s working to build a database to connect archaeological resources in Oregon with public knowledge and collections. “Archaeological material and cultural resources are finite resources, which means we all have the responsibility to ensure that these resources are protected. Besides the trowel, archaeologists and many others utilize many ways of engaging with the past in order to preserve these finite resources. The database established through this project is one way to minimize the impact of archaeological investigations on cultural resources.”The Government ShutdownSo, the shutdown is just horrendous no matter how you slice it. We all know archaeologists who are losing paychecks. I reached out to a couple folks to see if they’d speak, but that pesky Taft-Hartley Bill keeps government employees from organizing labor or speaking out in anything that could be interpreted as protest, so they need our help speaking up for them.Some excerpts from a recent letter from the DSA Labor Commission:“Trump is trying to divide the working class as part of his racist agenda, but DSA members who are federal workers are speaking out and building solidarity.”“ call your congressional representative and both senators and demand they end the shutdown immediately and backpay all furloughed government workers as well as contractors. Ask that they work with Rep. Pressley to ensure that contractors as well as federal employees are backpaid for all time lost to the shutdown.”It’s Not About the WallNaomi Klein writes about “disaster capitalism” in her books, The Shock Doctrine and No Is Not Enough. There, she spells out cases where crises were exploited or flatly engineered to erode public services, strain the working class financially, and install privatized services that profit off suffering. In post-Katrina Louisiana, post-Sandy New York and New Jersey, and in post-Maria Puerto Rico, we saw natural disasters take human lives and wreak havoc on communities. In the aftermath, Bain Capital and other nebulous firms stepped in to undermine local public services and replace them with privatized contracts. Mike Pence was instrumental in all of these cases, as he was when he engineered the worst HIV and AIDS epidemic the country has seen in since the 1980s through smash and grab public health policy when he was governor of Indiana. Now we have a senile, openly white supremacist president who’s a failed real estate tycoon that owes foreign investors billions of dollars and the only way to repay his debts is to engineer a crisis that will let him concentrate an obscene amount of wealth in the ruling class.If you want to hear more about the shutdown and how it is affecting archaeology and the country as a whole, check out the newest WIA episode on iTunes or your favorite Android app, as well as on our website, www.womeninarchaeology.com.Where can we find you online?Kirsten LopezTwitter @archyfem www.twitter.com/archyfemInstagram @bluejaderose www.instagram.com/bluejaderoseCheck out Women in Archaeology www.womeninarchaeology.comTia CodyKatie TiptonArch Database PDX https://archdatabasepdx.wordpress.com/LinksSupport Go Dig a Hole on Patreon www.patreon.com/godigaholeUrgent Solidarity Needed with Federal Workers https://www.dsausa.org/news/urgent-solidarity-needed-with-federal-workers/Call your senators and representatives to demand an end to the shutdown https://callyourrep.co/

GDAH Ep57 - Archaeology in Oregon & Government Shutdown w/ Tia Cody and Katie Tipton

Colin Omilanowski emailed in some great questions, so Chris Sims had him join the show, along with Emily Long and Chris Webster. We talk about tools and technology in archaeology, and why we use them.

GDAH ARCHIVE Ep22 - Tools and Technology

Kirsten, Katie, and Chris recorded their first episode from the new studio! We learned the ropes on a professional soundboard and discussed how to weather rejection in archaeology. Plus, Chris coughed a whole lot and it sounded great on the new mics!Recommended links:Women in Archaeology podcasthttps://womeninarchaeology.com/

Michael Ashley and Leigh Anne Ellison are part of the team at Codifi, a startup that makes mobile apps and databases for archaeology. Prior to joining Codifi, Leigh Anne worked with Digital Antiquity and tDAR, The Digital Archaeological Record - so she’s been on the leading edge of digital archaeology during some interesting times for archaeology as a whole.SPEAKING OF INTERESTING TIMESWe’re about a month into the SARS-COV-2 pandemic and most states are operating under stay-at-home orders or similar lockdown measures to limit the spread of coronavirus. While we adjust to incredible disruptions to our lives, there are opportunities to change the course of archaeology through digital tools.Most importantly, we have to be flexible and safe. But social distancing and remote work can be offputting for what it means to be human. So Michael Ashley prefers the terms “digital distancing” or “physical distancing” rather than social distancing. The current environment for archaeology is tricky because work isn’t slowing down for PaleoWest or Codifi, but agencies are struggling to keep up due to social and political obstacles for “business as usual”. In the face of decades of austerity cuts and unchecked disaster capitalism, there’s an urgent need for archaeologists to be able to work safely and smartly. How will digital archaeology and paperless tools secure the legitimacy of the field?
