DIG THIS

Today, we take a close look at who can versus who should practice archaeology and by what authority. The need for archaeology has widened but who can support that need has not. There's a lack of inclusion and opportunity in legislation, education and field experience requirements. Who can manage sites and do heritage work, needs to change.

What is DIG THIS?

Welcome to DIG THIS - An archaeology podcast for good. Kind of like Indiana Jones…if he was a woman…more ethical…gave a shit about the people whose belongings he was stealing…and was actually doing real archaeological work. Ok. Nothing like Indiana Jones.

Every second Wednesday, Archaeologist and Owner of Kleanza Consulting, Amanda Marshall welcomes guests to have fearless, fierce, and fun conversations about their discipline, the work, the business, and ask some hard questions.

How do we decolonize our practice?
How does our work support Indigenous communities in their goals for heritage sovereignty?
How do we keep our company on a sustainable path for growth while supporting the professional goals of our team?
How do we achieve all this AND sustain a balanced life?

If you’re an archaeologist, anthropologist, environmentalist, conservationist, or industry leader who sees the need for change; an Indigenous trailblazer working towards cultural and heritage sovereignty; or a woman leading a business (or aspiring to!) - then DIG THIS is your podcast.
