You don't need a 1x1. He's a Witch Burn Him! - CRMArch 276

CRM Archaeology Podcast Icon

About 14 years ago Chris was on a project where he had a disagreement with the crew chief on how to set up a 1x1 test unit. This has now led to a discussion about the many ways you can do the same thing right. We learn when we travel and work in other areas that there are a lot of different ways to do the same thing and they are all right.

What makes a CRM project go wrong? - CRMArch 274

CRM Archaeology Podcast Icon

Archaeology revealed massive Indigenous site in Miami (Tequesta Site), but condos are going forward with development: https://www.science.org/content/article/miami-modern-clash-over-2000-year-old-archaeological-site

This was the former site of a Standard Oil facility and the ground is contaminated. Archaeologists filed class action lawsuit against CRM company for exposing them and not having adequate health and safety: https://prismreports.org/2023/05/24/miami-tequesta-archaeology-related-group-illness-cancer/

Watching this unfolding story makes me ask “What makes an archaeology project go wrong?”

Are Archaeological Professional Societies/Organizations Designed to Do Nothing? - CRMArch 273

CRM Archaeology Podcast Icon

Are our archaeology organizations(organisations)/societies designed to be against change? History seems to indicate so. We see actions from the United States Office of Strategic Services' (precursor to the CIA) Simple Sabotage Field Manual put into practice all the time. Many systems sure sound a lot like the Spartan apella - ‘This is not a system for popular decision making, it is a system for consensus building, a system to convince everyone – even if they disagree with the action – that most of the spartiates agree and that they should thus go along.’ In this podcast we look at these descriptions of past control systems and sabotage techniques to see how many can be applied to current organizations (organisations) /societies.
