About this listen
In this episode, we're joined by Shauna Mundt, a historical archaeologist specializing in Cultural Resource Management (CRM). Shauna shares what CRM work really entails, why it's essential for preserving history, and how anything over 50 years old can be considered a cultural resource.
We explore the ethical responsibilities archaeologists carry as stewards of the past—ensuring cultural resources are protected in line with local, state, and federal laws. Shauna also sheds light on the unpredictable challenges CRM professionals face in the field, from harsh weather and wildlife to the ongoing threat of looting.
Plus, we dive into how technology like GIS mapping plays a crucial role in documenting and preserving historical sites.
Whether you're curious about archaeology or passionate about heritage preservation, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the people working to protect our shared history.
