Not to brag but I did fight a bear yesterday and win… twice.
And who said archaeology was boring?

Hey, I know I have almost a dozen followers and at least three mutuals. I’d be ever so grateful if one or two of you might be willing to vote and reblog this silliness. 🙃 I understand if it goes unnoticed or w/e, just funnin around. Thanks y’all.
(@endreal ? @zoethebitch ? @natalieironside ?)
And a special thanks to @evening-lilacs for being so sweet. 💕

Me: "I think I've finally worked through my archaeology trauma, the therapy and medication have really worked!"

Today I'm at work scanning old field reports and I gotta say the most exciting thing was watching a wasp and a spider duke it out. The wasp was stuck in the web for like, 5 minutes, trying to sting the spider while the spider just kinda batted at it.
I was tempted to save the wasp, but....1. Nature. 2. Homie was 3x the size of the spider. 3. It was so off putting to watch nature take its course, so I had to watch.
The wasp escaped and I cheered. I went to capture it to put it outside, but when I got back to the copy room it had flown off. I hope it hasn't been trapped in another web.

my partner & i’s anniversary is november 5, which is coincidentally the anniversary of tutankhamen’s tomb being uncovered and opened.
learning about tutankhamen & ancient egypt from one of those coffee table egyptology books at the ripe ages of 6-7 was what made me want to study archaeology.
now i’m an archaeology field technician in the US and i’m planning on getting my masters in cultural resource management so i can officially call myself an archaeologist.
anyways that’s just a fun coincidence i just realized three years into my relationship

Sorry just a mini rant bc genuinely appalled at the way some of my coworkers talk about not eating during work. Like buddy we're working CRM. It is a very labour intensive job. It's July and frequently over 30°C. The way you talk about not eating anything til dinner (and sometimes not anything beyond a granola bar all day) is terrifying. Obviously money for food can be tight (I'm feeling it rn) but I've spoken with some of them and they have and can afford food and they almost seem to be bragging about making it through the day on nothing. You are going to collapse! You should be eating!
So yeah my coworkers may not listen to me but to any fellow archaeologists please remember to eat! Even if you're staying hydrated that won't be enough if you're also not eating properly for days. Please take care of yourself in the field.
Everyone should be taking breaks to eat, hydrate, reapply sunscreen, and stretch. Yes, even if you don't feel like you need to. Yes, even if other people are "working through it." Toughing it out is not a badge of honor. It is dangerous, and unnecessarily so.
Just because you can go without doesn't mean you should. Your body is not suddenly the exception to the biological necessities of eating and drinking. Keeping your body nourished is part of long term care for your health. No work is worth shortchanging that.
This applies to all work, not just archaeological excavation. If you're reading this and thinking I totally support this for everyone else, not for me though THIS IS FOR YOU. Taking breaks sets a precedent. Because even if you don't need the break, someone else does, and if you take yours, you're contributing to a work environment where that person can take theirs. There's a reason unions have fought for breaks in pretty much every industry.

I'm currently studying to be an archaeologist at quite a good uni. I truly love archaeology and have a blast with fieldwork, even when conditions are a bit grim. Lately, I've been thinking about how literally every personal opinion expressed to students in lectures and tutorials has been far-left - like not even liberals or centrists seem to talk about their opinions. I've been wondering if it's even possible to be well connected in the field and not be a socialism stan.
Imma be honest with you, connections don't matter at all unless u plan on working in academia, and if thats something u want then

Archaeologists use a lot of different tools when excavating. These will differ depending on the geographical area you are working in, the site conditions, and the type of archaeology you are doing.  [Read More]

Hi Reid, I just finished my undergrad in archaeology and want to go into CRM work next field season (doing odd jobs/volunteer stuff in the meantime) - but I never actually got around to asking anyone for help with setting up my resume, so here goes - What would you say is important to put on one, and how should I generally set it up? Thanks for anything, your blog rocks!
Hello! First, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get to this. I was busy finishing up the semester and then getting to my summer internship. Thanks for your patience.
To be upfront, my experience is more with academia and CVs rather than resumes, but I'll try to pass on what I know. I'll also tag my favorite CRM people @midden-maiden @archaeologysucks @archaeo-geek @buckets-of-dirt @archaeo-beard and @wafflelovingbatgirl.
Unlike a CV, which is literally everything you've ever done, a resume should be extremely tailored to the job you are applying to. Any field experience you have should be front and center, especially any field schools you've done. CRM companies will want to know who trained you so they can assess what kinds of skills you're likely to have.
If you have any experience doing outdoor manual labor like landscaping, that might be worth putting down too. CRM is physically demanding work, and part of getting hired is proving you can handle it.
Beyond that, the best advice is to go out and find a template online. Choose something that's clean but not too flashy. Organize your work experience from most to least recent. Make sure to have references lined up (the prof who taught your field school would be a good reference to have).
May the dirt be with you, -Reid
