Today’s episode is a little bit different – It’s a collection of segments from several archaeologists. Robyn Lacy, who you’ll remember from the episode about burials and blogging, and Daniel Kwan, who’s a frequent guest on the show and host of the Curiosity in Focus podcast, answer a couple questions I put out on social media.

Why did you get into archaeology? What made you stay?

I’m putting out an open invitation to send in your submissions or set up a time to record with me – I’d like to hear why you got into archaeology – why you stayed in it – or, why you left. Check out the companion blog post on www.godigahole.com for a dropbox link, or reach out to me on social media at godigahole to get your word in.

This was a fun episode to put together, so hope you enjoy it.

I’ve been on the road for the past week for work in California, and I got to visit Dr. Bill White at UC Berkeley and sit in his course on Ancient African Civilizations. There, I met his incredibly bright students and got a chance to meet a few of them. It was awesome and I hope to do more visits like that in the future. We sat down to talk about why he got into archaeology, and to take a deep dive into the challenges early career archaeologists face in making it work for them.
