The New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast Intrusive Feature 1a - La Natura e la distribuzione dell'editoria in archeologia
Welcome to the first special episode of the New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast! This week we were joined by Dr. Bill Farley, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Southern Connecticut State University to discuss publishing in archaeology. We talk about why archaeologists publish, what the process of publishing involves, and offer some advice for students or early career folks looking to publish their research. Bill has published in a number of journals, and is the editor of Northeast Historical Archaeology. He also is active in using videogames to teach about archaeology, so check out his YouTube channel @archaeologytube, or find him on twitter @ArchaeologyGame.
