What has changed in ten years of discussing archaeology, and what has not? Chelsi, Emily, and Kirsten discuss the good, the bad, and everything in between in this overdue return to the WIA virtual studio. They discuss a bit of everything to do with the state of archaeology today, the impacts of the Trump administration, and the intersection between economic and energy development and our field.
