About this listen
In this episode of AnthroPuzzled, we talk with Kevin Gidusko, a Cultural Resource Manager at Ardurra with a background in anthropology. Kevin explains how anthropology informs his work in cultural resource management (CRM)—a field focused on preserving and protecting historical and archaeological sites during modern development. He breaks down what CRM looks like in practice, from navigating legal frameworks to working with communities and developers.
Kevin also shares how studying human history and culture helps him advocate for the past in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. He reflects on how, when he entered the field, most universities didn’t offer dedicated CRM courses—so he had to learn the ropes on his own. Today, that’s changing, with more programs offering degrees and training tailored to CRM work. His story highlights the evolving landscape of the profession and the growing recognition of CRM as a vital career path for anthropologists.
Tune in to hear Kevin’s journey, the challenges and rewards of CRM work, and why protecting the past matters more than ever.
