December 08, 2022 GDAH Ep88 - The State of Archaeology and Social Media
Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter for $44Bn has a lot of people leaving the social media platform for a variety of reasons. Quite a few archaeologists and science communicators have voiced their concerns over Twitter’s new ownership and are leaving or planning to leave the platform.
The main questions are, “where are they going and why?”
In this episode we look at some of the reasons archaeologists are using various social media.

December 02, 2022 GDAH Ep87 - The Labor Shortage Paradox
We’re at a strange point in cultural resource management (CRM) where there’s simultaneously tons of companies hiring archaeologists, and very few qualified people to fill those jobs. Today we’re gonna talk about how we got here, and what the path ahead looks like.
Jeff Atschul and Terry Klein published an article in the most recent Advances in Archaeological Practice called, “Forecast for the US CRM Industry and Job Market, 2022-2031” that outlines the factors shaping the next 10 years of factors that will shape careers in CRM archaeology.

September 01, 2022 GDAH Ep85 - The Multiple Publics of Public Archaeology
Welcome back for another NEW EPISODE of the Go Dig a Hole podcast. We’re back with friend of the podcast, Elliot Helmer.
On this episode we discuss the different types of public audiences, and how modes of engagement factor into the “multiple publics” of public archaeology. We go into detail on how historic preservation laws provide a framework for consultation with public stakeholders, but don’t necessarily protect archaeological sites.

February 23, 2022 GDAH Ep84 - Cultural Resources that AREN'T Archaeology?!
When we talk about "cultural resource management" (the other CRM), we usually mean archaeology. But there's a lot more to CRM that actually isn't archaeology - it's architectural history. Join the Go Dig a Hole crew as we talk with architectural historian and tiki aficionado, Garret Root, as we talk about all things above the ground (and a few things below the ground too). Learn how architectural history can improve our communities by providing incentives to fund infrastructure and revitalization.
