Welcome to the first episode of Stratified: An Archaeology Podcast, where we dig into the layers beneath our feet and the systems built on top of them.

In this episode, we unpack what Cultural Resource Management (CRM) actually is, how it works, and why it matters. 

We talk: 

• The three phases of CRM
• Why most archaeology in the U.S. isn’t academic—it’s compliance
• What happens when SEAC shuts down or tribal consultation comes too late
• And what it means to stay in this field when everything around it is being cut
