What does it mean to study the past, and why does it still matter?

In this episode of The Phosphenes Podcast, I sit down with Kendra, an archaeologist based in Canada.

We talk about what it’s like to build a career in archaeology, the realities of working in the field, and the deeper significance of preserving history in a world that’s constantly moving forward.

This conversation explores:

• the path into archaeology and what the work actually looks like• why the past still shapes the way we live today• the importance of remembering, documenting, and protecting what came before us

Kendra’s perspective is a reminder that the past isn’t something we leave behind, it’s something we carry with us, whether we realize it or not.
