DIG THIS

Owning his own CRM company, teaching, running a field school, excavating one of the world's oldest public skateboard parks, studying the archaeology of COVID, unearthing Japanese settlements in the North Shore Mountains, twitter, writing books - these are just some of the topics we touched on in a fascinating conversation with archaeologist Bob Muckle. But truly, his life's work has been to get people to appreciate and care about the Indigenous past, and to recognize the value of of archaeology, particularly as a tool for social justice. A mentor, advocate and ally who has lived by his convictions through out his career - we are now glad to call him friend.

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 Wednesday, Jenny Botica and Amanda Marshall have a laugh, cry, or howl at the moon over lessons learned during their 20+ years as archeologists, business owners, partners, and moms. Fearless and fierce conversations that focus on the state of their discipline, their company, their lives… 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.
