Most archaeologists work for the #Crm industry. This is also the mechanism by which 99% of preservation occurs in this country. It is about to go away. 12021
Reposted by Unionizing American ArchaeologyExhausted archaeologist-exhausteologist @hknorton.bsky.social · 21/07/2026The attack on Chaco Canyon, the shrinking of Bears Ears, the gutting of Section 106 is all related. Erasing tangible places that hold our history is the ultimate erasure of the people connected to those places. When that history is forgotten the land is free for extraction. 19451
