Interview with the Delightful and Insightful Dr. Z the Archaeologist

On this episode, the hosts interview Dr. Z, an award-winning professor and incredible content creator on Instagram and Tik Tok. Dr. Z, who goes by “Dr. Z the Archaeologist” on social media, discusses her background in archaeology, research interests, goals for outreach, and tips for archaeologists just starting out. Highlights include ways to engage a broader audience, the study of garbology, ways to bring whimsey to the field and archaeology-based social media, fashion choices, the importance of hydration and sunscreen, and keeping safe in the field. We definitely hope to have Dr. Z on the podcast again!
