December 08, 2022 15:00 - 36 minutes - 50.7 MBElon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter for $44Bn has a lot of people leaving the social media platform for a variety of reasons.

GDAH Ep87 - The Labor Shortage Paradox
December 02, 2022 01:21 - 1 hour - 125 MBWe’re at a strange point in cultural resource management (CRM) where there’s simultaneously tons of companies hiring archaeologists, and very few qualified people to fill those jobs. Today we’re gonna talk about how we got here, and what the path ahead looks like. Jeff Atschul and Terry Klein published an article in the most recent Advances in Archaeological Practice called, “Forecast for the US CRM Industry and Job Market, 2022-2031” that outlines the factors shaping the next 10 years of fa...

GDAH Ep84 - Cultural Resources that AREN'T Archaeology?!
February 23, 2022 08:14 - 1 hour - 97.2 MBWhen we talk about "cultural resource management" (the other CRM), we usually mean archaeology. But there's a lot more to CRM that actually isn't archaeology - it's architectural history. Join the Go Dig a Hole crew as we talk with architectural historian and tiki aficionado, Garret Root, as we talk about all things above the ground (and a few things below the ground too). Learn how architectural history can improve our communities by providing incentives to fund infrastructure and revitaliza...

November 01, 2021 02:04 - 1 hour - 87 MBFirst up, Travis Corwin tells a frightening tale of an archaeological site in the murky swamps of Florida where horrifying events happened to the archaeologist who worked there. Travis also discusses the idea of "haunting" as a way to relate traumatic events of the past being temporal anomalies that shatter linear concepts of time and our relationships to the past.

GDAH Ep8 ARCHIVE - Opportunities to Succeed
July 01, 2021 16:00 - 45 minutes - 63.2 MBThis episode aired sometime in 2015 and, while many of the archive episodes have been omitted due to dated or inaccurate info, this one still feels as relevant as it did 6 years ago. Here are some of the questions we explore: How do you make yourself stand out as an undergrad? What does a good job applicant look like? Where do you start when you're building your professional network from scratch? These are the big questions we struggle with early on in our careers as archaeologists, but ther...

GDAH Ep78 - The First Time Back In Person
April 10, 2021 04:10 - 1 hour - 131 MBTia, Tipton, and Chris rode their bikes to a cemetery in Portland because we thought it would be quiet. While it was peaceful and quiet in person, the microphone picked up a LOT of environmental noise. After a week of tweaking the levels, adaptive noise filters, and trying to cut out the noisiest sections without destroying the content, we finally had to just put this out there. Being the first time we've gathered in person, we experimented with an outdoor mic that picked up such wonders as: ...
GDAH Ep77 -Getting That First Archaeology Job
March 20, 2021 06:46 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBSo last time when we covered the "essentials" for doing archaeology, we kinda threw the kitchen sink at the episode and covered a lot of ground without going into much detail on any of the specific points. This time we tackled a question that everyone interested in archaeology faces - how do you get your first job? Spoiler alert - network! network! network! Easier said than done, right? We have some advice for that. LINKS Support Go Dig a Hole on Patreon: www.patreon.com/godigahole Like ...
GDAH Ep76 - Essentials for Archaeology
March 04, 2021 08:12 - 51 minutes - 71.3 MBPivot! Pivot! Well, kind of a pivot for the show. During the last several years, Go Dig a Hole went from focusing on early career development and coaching for college students, to sustaining a career in archaeology, to discussing heavy issues in the field, to four archaeology buddies drinking beer in an airstream trailer having a good time, to nerding out over building codes. So we decided it was time to get back to the building blocks. In this episode we start to tackle some questions that w...

GDAH Ep74 - The Gang Nerds Out on Building Codes
October 07, 2020 04:54 - 1 hour - 108 MBOk last time we put out a new episode of the podcast, we talked about how NIMBYs hijacked the process for designating historic properties and weaponized neighborhood associations in Portland, Oregon. The notorious Eastmoreland case happened when a homeowner partitioned their lot into 5,000 "trusts" so they could outnumber community members and take a bigger vote. We're back with more of Portland's historic resources codes. Fresh from the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, the Hi...
GDAH Ep73 - Dude, Where's My Landscape?
August 02, 2020 21:43 - 1 hour - 119 MBOPRD/Oregon SHPO has proposed changes to the National Register Program process based on challenges that arose in recent years around the Sellwood nomination here in Portland. The Sellwood nomination resulted from one landowner creating 5,000 “land trusts” on their quarter-acre plot of land in a Portland neighborhood to gain an outsized representation in the NRHP process. In this episode, we interrogate the notions of ownership and how the National Register of Historic Places operates. Is it ...
GDAH Ep72 - Save the Field Museum & Organizing Heritage Workers
June 15, 2020 04:53 - 1 hour - 109 MBIt’s been a few weeks since our last new episode, so we wanted to start this one off with a very important message: All of us at Go Dig a Hole are committed to antiracism and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. We also condemn the long history of acts of police brutality against communities of color in the United States. We hope our listeners also join us in remaining committed to doing more, and doing better. This statement alone doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of building ...

May 15, 2020 03:48 - 1 hour - 113 MBThe whole crew had their own dang happy hour and some of their loved ones made brief appearances. Tia, Kirsten, Katie, and Chris talk about how they’ve had to adjust to working as archaeologists during a pandemic, the frustrations of “productivity theater”, and trying to find happiness in the full collapse of late capitalism. We also talk about tattoos, cats, and food - as is the custom. This episode is a little freeform, but the crew always finds a good groove together despite repeated dis...
GDAH ARCHIVE Ep12 - Matt Tuttle and Anthroprobably
May 10, 2020 23:32 - 40 minutes - 55.3 MBIn this archive episode, we hear from one of Chris’ early peers and role models, Matt Tuttle. Matt ran the blog, Anthroprobably, as a way to give back to the archaeological community by sharing his experiences. Anthroprobably was a big influence on Chris starting Go Dig a Hole and focusing on managing realistic expectations. This episode originally aired sometime in 2015, so it’s interesting to revisit the discussion of the archaeology community on social media five years later. Matt Tuttle...

March 12, 2020 03:19 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MBWell, we tried. We had one of the best guest discussions yet, and it was the first call-in guest we've had on the show in about two and a half years. But the program we use to record in the studio crashed and we lost about an hour of discussion. The files that could be salvaged won't make a full episode, but we'll gather what can be saved and release it as a Patron-only teaser. In the meantime, here's a discussion summarizing Lewis Borck's Puebloan Rebels of the Southwest field school, COVID...

It has been edited for content and sound as a rebroadcast without their branding or advertisements.

When I was in undergrad, and even in grad sch...
