In our very first pan-Canadian roundtable - (where you may hear zoom’s audio limitations 😂) - topics range from leadership, inclusivity, ableism, guilt and confidence, to harassment, abuse, boundaries, accountability, and ethics. And it feels like we just scratch the surface. To our dear listeners, this episode contains content that may be alarming. Please check the show notes for specific time code indicators and for a list resources, should you need them. Most importantly, take care of yourself, today and always.
A most sincere thank you to Margarita de Guzman, Amelia Fay, Lisa Rankin and Kisha Supernant for an extraordinary conversation. 🧡

We love that idea that archaeology is a service to First Nations, because it’s not an explicit guiding principle in our professional guidelines. Such a stimulating conversation with ! Catch last week’s episode before Episode 12 drops tomorrow! It’s a roundtable discussion of colleagues that we are really excited to share!

Jenny said it best: "It’s quite refreshing to hear someone in a power position, a leadership position, share and create a really positive legacy that can be passed on.” Yes.

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 throughout his career - we are now glad to call him friend.

Join us for the first of our Kitchen Talks mini-sodes. For years, Jenny and Amanda have carved out time at the end of the day, to work out weekly business challenges – all while cooking dinner. We asked them to try recording a few of them! Today, the conversation is about ‘Remote Monitoring’ - a covid 19 solution to address Indigenous community participation safely in the field, which is helping address capacity limitations as well. Again, a lot of straight talk about managing clients while adhering to values, best practices and doing the right thing. Oh! Could we also get the mushroom sauce recipe please?!

On this week’s episode:
Promoting disciplines that engage in early communication and obtaining consent from First Nations is a priority for us. Archaeological geo-physicist, Peter Takacs, shares his enthusiasm for ground-penetrating radar, as Amanda flexes her field producer skills, recording out in the field with Peter and Kleanza archaeologist Travis Freeland. As a GPR Technician at GeoScan Subsurface Surveys, not only does Peter see what no one else can see, he can see back in time. Although relatively new technology, the collaborative relationship between geophysics, the GPR team and the archaeological team can be a match made in heaven. It just needs to be better understood!

In this podcast, one of the things that we've been exploring is the meaning of archaeology and why it matters. We’re all parents in this episode, so today we’re going to explore how our kids bring additional meaning to what we do. Candice Wilson, Environment Manager with Haisla Nation, joins us again, (YAY!), to reflect on this aspect of our lives. What does being a parent and having kids bring to our work in general, and to our work with heritage.

That quote by Justice Murray Sinclair has stuck with us for years. Even archaeologists who understand the imbalance in our practice – and the need for Indigenous communities to be involved in more meaningful ways – find making change a challenge. The existing system ends up being replicated in communities, with the same existing problems. Today we talk with archaeologist, Joanne Hammond, about creatively finding ways to do things differently, to change the model for good.

Dig our “Near-Death Stories Extravaganza"! Safety is our number one priority. Archaeologists always try to prevent accidents, work as safely as possible, wear proper PPE, and review tasks at daily tailgates. But you can never predict what’s going to happen in the field…it’s always an adventure. We hope these stories provide our listeners with some new cocktail party material!

Today, in Episode 5 of , we’re digging into the subject of ‘women in business’, with Margarita DeGuzman, managing director of CIRCLE CRM Group. Obviously, we're archaeologists. Obviously, we're women. But we also own and run companies, for which we had no formal training, other than what we learned on the job. So, it's both interesting and enlightening to talk with other women about how they’ve developed their careers and businesses. There are so many different paths!

Hope you dig Episode 4 of ! We’re so excited to be joined by Candice Wilson, Environmental Manager, Haisla Nation – our very first guest!!! We’re talking about how archaeology can support heritage sovereignty and be informed by Indigenous science. Archaeologists often regard Indigenous science as only traditional knowledge, but it is also scientifically based. It's another important way of talking about science and can lead to new ways of communicating and working.
