Abstract
This short piece offers a perspective on the current archaeological educational format, evaluating topics like access to field school and the cultural resources management (CRM) job market. From personal experiences, a similarity is shown between the gap in skills of what is learned in academia and what is applied in a job. The COVID-19 pandemic plays a critical role in accessing field school experiences and preparing undergraduate students for graduate studies. Solutions range in the smaller scale of mentor–mentee relationships where expectations and lack of expertise can be evaluated to prepare the graduate student for further educational paths or the job market.
期刊介绍:
Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries.
Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display.
Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
