We are not wizards!

In Episode 6, Amanda and Kleanza Archaeologist, Kevin Haugrud, explore the subject of Geographic Information Services with GIS Specialist Mikaela Bennett, from Ecora in Kelowna. She explains how she uses different types of software to look at both spatial (ie. map) and tabular information (ie. spreadsheet) to get answers about a point or area. The conversation covers techniques, the possibilities inherent in this work, its’ challenges, and a bit about a career in GIS. Kevin got answers to all his questions which we hope he can explore more out in the field!

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.
