Houston based CRM archaeologist interested in the late 19th/early 20th century. In particular WWI training camps and conflict sites. I also sometimes have thoughts on movies, beer, and politics. You know, human culture and stuff.

It's the start of Spooky Season 2026 movie watching. My pinned thread of everything I watch this month. I promise some spooky archaeology movies at some point.

Since I'm seeing more about the permitting reform deal going through the senate, here is the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers response to the #Section106 changes proposed by the bill. There are ways to improve the process without attacking tribal sovereignty.

Oof...it's starting to sound like Chronicle Heritage, one of the bigger players in cultural resource management, is going to be shuttered. As recently as a few years ago they were touting the possibilities of private equity in CRM. Just awful for all their talented staff. 🏺

There's a reason the Cardinals kept dreaming on Hicks. When he's on his stuff is just filthy. Over his career he's been off more than he's on, unfortunately for the Astros, he looks on right now.
