Who counts as an archaeologist? Contrary to images from popular culture, excavation teams are a diverse group working to produce knowledge of the past. In this week's episode, Dr. Allison Mickel speaks with Chelsea and Melissa about the knowledge and labour that local communities contribute to archaeological digs in Jordan and Turkey. Listen in as Dr. Mickel talks about what expertise really means, how visiting archaeologists interact with the communities they work in, and how labour issues shape archaeological practices.
