Join Chelsi, Emily, Kirsten and guests Dr. Holly Norton (Colorado State Archaeologist and the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer at History Colorado), Dr. Maureen Meyers (Director of Archaeology for New South Associates, Inc.), Sarah Love (Professional and PhD student), Katie Tipton (Cultural Resources Practice Lead for Catalyst Environmental), Kassie Rippee (Tribal Liaison, SACHP: State Advisory Council on Historic Preservation) and Gretchen Eggiman (President, Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists) for an emergency recording about the proposed changes to Section 106. We cover the history of the law, what the changes are, what they mean for archaeologists and the public, and how you can make your voice heard during the consultation period.
Due to the quick turnaround between notification of the proposed changes and voting this episode was recording asynchronously with our different guests (not our usual approach), edited, and posted within 3 days. If you notice a difference from our normal podcasts this is why.
