Who am I? What is this?

I'm a historical archaeologist living and working in the U.S. West. I earn a living doing contract archaeology (CRM--"Cultural Resource Management") and trying to write a dissertation in my copious free time.

I really intend this blog to be a kind of "stretching exercise" before doing the writing I should be doing--writing what I want so I can then move on to writing what I should. I have no clear agenda for the blog, but the various moles I intend to whack will generally pop up of the theory and practice of archaeology, particularly within CRM.
