Starting to write my thesis

So this week I begin my final term in graduate school. My sole goal is to compose my thesis. My goal is to create a microhistory where I take the archaeology of a place, plantation, and combine it with the documentary data of a person, slave holder, to locate a particular person invisible in this analysis, a slave. Hopefully I will be able to discuss more than my frustrations with the process over the coming weeks.

CRM Archaeology Podcast

One of my favorite podcast is the CRM Archaeology Podcast and their latest episode is about making podcast. Hope to get advise and impression and someday start my own. Until then, listen to this great podcast.

First Post

This will be the first of hopefully regular post discussing my travels in cultural resource management (CRM) and general news dealing with archaeology, history and other cultural subjects. In the mean time here is a picture from a recent project near Ellicott City, MD.
