On today's episode we discuss conferences, AGAIN. But that's for two reasons. First, we got some great comments from a fan on our Member's Only Slack Team (archpodnet.com/members) that we had to address. Second, the basic model for a conference hasn't changed in nearly a century and we need to fix that.

The last year, 2020, has taught us a lot about ourselves, our families, and our work. But mostly it's taught is what to do and what not to do when video conferencing. On today's episode we give some conferencing pro tips and our lesson's learned.

You may have wondered when seeing an excavation on TV, or, an archaeological site in your home town how archaeologists decide “This is the place!”. Well, the short answer is: it’s complicated. On this episode we use a recent article to start the conversation and try to come up with some answers.

Grey literature is the term for CRM reports that languish behind restrictions in agency file cabinets. How do we change that? How do we talk about archaeology while maintaining confidentiality for our clients and native peoples who’s land we’re working on and exploring? It’s a tricky question that we try to answer on today’s episode. But first, the implications of space law on terrestrial archaeology.

Today's episode is in response to a listener question in which the listener asked why we continue to do CRM even though we always talk about the hardships. What drives you? Is it a passion for history? A love of the outdoors? What drives you to settle for low per diem, bad pay, no benefits, and double-occupancy hotel room? Let us know in the comments.

Listener question: From James at NASA...As to what I would like to hear in CRM, as a member of the public, I would like to understand more of the reason people continue to work in the field despite the hardships. I mean, is there knowledge before they get a degree that this is hard when they do the field work? What is the dropout rate? Is it just in people’s blood to do this, like sailors who need to be on the ocean despite the risk? Also, fundamentally, is CRM just trying to meet regulations (do a job and get paid) or is it actually resulting in stopping/relocating the ventures that initiated them (highway, shopping mall, homes)?

Universities are in trouble in 2020. There were generally no field schools over the summer and in-person classes are a thing of the past. Also, many universities are not excepting graduate students until further notice. To continue to be a for-profit institution some are turning to field archaeology and CRM. What will that do to the business of archaeology? Doug Rocks-Macqueen leads the crew on that discussion this week.
