GDAH ARCHIVE Ep18 - Be the Best You!

08/28/19 • 77 min

We plopped a mic down at the dinner table with the Desert West Environmental crew at the end of a long day in the field on a project in Arkansas. We discuss the theme of professionalism, among other things like "field mouth" and safe spaces. In the end, we hope this episode helps you level up your career in archaeology with some reassurance and encouragement from this team.

GDAH Ep60 - Comparative Approaches to Political Complexity w/ Maxime Lamoureaux St. Hilaire

This episode features a discussion moderated by Maxime Lamoureux-St. Hilaire, who you’ll remember from episode 25, “Ancient Politics in the Present”. Max recently got his PhD, so congrats to him! This panel at the recent meeting of the Society for American Archaeology focused on comparative approaches to Maya Archaeology. The panel discusses complexity, and comparative approaches to understanding politics of the past – specifically in the Maya region, but this is a valuable approach for addressing complexity and politics of the past elsewhere. The discussants here were Arthur Demarest, Keith Eppick, Rachel Horowitz, Patricia McAnany, David Mixter, Luis Muro, Olivia Narro-Farr, Mat Saunders, Evan Parker, Whittaker Schroder, and Brent Woodfill This is a special episode recorded at the request of the panelists, and with the permission of the SAA. We at Go Dig a Hole are very grateful for the opportunity to present this discussion to a wider audience.
