@annelisebaer @SwilliamTafford @booksandleather @kyunearthed @LaArqueologa - I would thoughtfully participate in Linkedin conversations with careful person tagging. Build creative bridges between your skills and topics, e.g. story arcs is part of both marketing and film. Showing up can be 90% of the journey

@annelisebaer It has never been easier to produce and distribute to huge audiences but you must know what lay audiences want and how they want it. But tapping into the demand for for bite-sized treasure hunting/adventure is very risky for Archaeologists' careers unless done with great care.

@annelisebaer @LaArqueologa Linkedin is super low hanging fruit here esp if your name is unique.

The $3 million grant from @SavingPlaces will allow 33 historic Black landmarks to be protected and restored. I am happy for all these recipients of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.

In the 1930s banks were desperately trying to get deposits to stay afloat during the great depression. These tokens were issued across the US. This one is from Lexington, KY - for the Fayette Bank. #greatdepression #tokens #lexingtonky #lexky #metaldetecting

Freshly dug, highly plowed context. Union infantry cuff button. Recorded to <1 meter and cataloged in our camp #3 infantry artifact scatter. Looking forward to publishing the survey of the camps and curating these items into public ownership.

Looking at an Archaeologist opening in my city (out of curiosity) ... Masters + experience required.... $16-22/hour. Seriously?

[Kentucky Unearthed @kyunearthed]

@brockter True dat! And for some things the resulting maps are like big neon signs for additional investigation (and use of precious project resources.) /Sc
