Dig our “Near-Death Story 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! To learn more about us...

Welcome!  To learn more ab...

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.  Join Jenny Botica and Amanda Marshall - 20-year veteran archeologists, business owners, partners, and moms - as they re-evaluate and decolo...
