On today's episode we talk about degree inflation and the backlash from Bill's blog post about NOT hiring people with graduate degrees as field techs. What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

On today's episode we take a deep dive into the results of the survey we mentioned at the end of Episode 80. Charlie Peliska, the survey's author, joins us for the third segment, which is a longer segment than usual.

On today's show we talk about burning out. Or rather, how not to burn out. We also talk about what it means to be an archaeologist. How do we define it? Finally, we touch on the Charlie Peliska survey currently making the rounds on social media. We devote an entire episode to it next time, but for now we just touch on it.

On today's episode, Chris rambles on about three wildly different topics. First, reasons why you should go to the SAAs in Disneyworld, despite the fact that it's Disneyworld. Second, the APN and all it's neediness. Finally, looting. Is it really that bad, or, is it a matter of perspective?

On this episode Bill and Ashley talk about what the saw and learned at the 2016 Society for Historical Archaeology Annual Meeting held in January in Washington D.C. The second segment is an interview segment that Bill recorded at the meetings.

KEEP LISTENING!! Just because we're talking theory doesn't mean this isn't worth listening too! Seriously, though, we have a great discussion about theory and it's use in CRM Archaeology. Do we need theory? Do we use theory? What theories do we use? What should we use? This and more on today's episode.

On today's episode, Chris Sims, Doug Rocks-Macqueen, Stephen Wagner, and Bill White talk about the "Grand Challenges" in archaeology. This is a companion episode to the blog carnival of the same name taking place over at Doug's Archaeology. What do you think the grand challenges of archaeology are? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

On today's episode we talk to one current and one former archaeologist that are both religious and balancing religion and archaeology. One was a former SHPO and one is a Nun. I've always wondered how someone can reconcile religious beliefs with a field that seems to actively refute much of what's in the bible and other religious texts. We tackle those questions and more on this week's episode.

This is a companion podcast to Bill White's blog post of a similar title. Should archaeologists, more precisely, Field Techs, marry each other? Perhaps our answers are different from yours, perhaps not. We do have some collective experience in this area. Let us know what you think in the comments.

On today's episode we discuss large project management. It's not as straight forward as you might think and it's not the same as grabbing a couple shovels and knocking out a quick survey. This is a complicated undertaking and our co-hosts have managed many large projects.
