Content Warning: this episode deals with sensitive topics like drug use and sexual harassment.

Archaeology is a lot of fun, and it’s even more fun when you aren’t on the business end of a bear bluff charge. In this episode, we are joined by Greer Vanderbyl (22:37), Carol Colaninno (59:53), and Nadine Byers (1:22:43) for big picture advice about field safety. Greer discusses building a culture of safety among your field crew, Carol provides advice for field directors to help combat sexual harassment in the field, and Nadine explains why archaeologists should consider adding Naloxone to their first aid kits. Also - are you a musician or podcaster in need of audio editing and producing? Our incomparable producer, Emanuel Akel (13:36), is looking to expand his portfolio (see details in credits, below).
