Chris Webster's handy, informative guide outlines what it takes to
become an archaeological technician, a field worker in cultural
resource management (CRM) archaeology. Based on his popular blog
feature, Shovelbums Guide, Webster offers young archaeologists
useful advice about CRM work, including writing, cooking in hotel
rooms, hand-mapping, surviving unemployment, life after
archaeology, and more. It provides tools new CRM archaeologists
need to get hired and to live life on the road in a fluctuating job
market, as well as details on how to succeed as a field
archaeologist. Appendices cover sample job hunting documents and
checklists for fieldwork. If you will be pursuing a position in
this dynamic, challenging field, this book is a must-read both
before you apply for that first job and once you get one.
