Back to School - Episode 41

That's right. Everyone else is doing it...This show is different from the influx of Target and Walmart ads you've been seeing in that we have some useful information. Whether you're an undergrad, a graduate student, or are just plugging away in the field, there is good information for all.

Also, I don't always do this, but, for those that stay to the end there is usually some fun little sound bite. And, it's usually Bill.

CoDA and Digital Archaeology - Episode 39

A few days before this podcast was published I drove down to the offices of the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA) just north of San Francisco, CA. I talked with Michael Ashley and Tyler Wilson about what CoDA is, what they do, and what they can do for CRM projects.

Too Slow and Too Much - Episode 38

On today's show we talk about a scenario nearly everyone has encountered before, not digging or walking as fast as your crew chief wants you to. Are they going too fast, or, are you going too slow? We also discuss the efficacy of posting jobs on social media sites like Facebook. Does it invite the wrong sort of comments, or, is it something employers should be doing?
