Never is a long time but we must never give in, NEVER surrender
Last Wednesday, I officially retired as an archaeologist. I had done it for 27 years in both the public and private sector and had seen it change a lot. Most of what is done in the U.S. is called “cultural resource management” (CRM), which has little to do with real archaeology anymore. It’s been co-opted by CRM contract firms, and extreme preservationists – similar to extreme environmentalists, in that they are anti-capitalist/anti-development – who couldn’t give a flying hoo hah for the archaeology. They’re in it for the money and to further their leftist agenda. And archaeology in academia is a really bad joke, driven by monumental egos and Marxism.- Monday, March 5, 2018
