Shovel Bum by Trent De Boer Pdf

"Shovel bums" endure weeks of flea-bitten motel beds, greasy roadhouse food, tempermental field vehicles, and long stretches of boredom to practice that most romantic of intellectual endeavors-archaeology. Ignored by the profession, working for low wages and little respect, they represent the vast majority of practicing archaeologists in North America. But, unlike unwed welfare mothers and highway underpass junkies, their plight is unknown and unheralded. No longer. The comix Shovel Bum, developed by de Boer and others in those late night beer sessions at the Motel 6, has now become a book, outlining the trials and tribulations of these unsung heroes of archaeology. Which SUV works best in the mud? How do you survey in a field of unexploded military ordnance? Which motel has the biggest breakfast? How do you construct your own trowel pouch? For an entertaining look at archaeology as it is really practiced in the United States, pick up a copy of Shovel Bum.

Field Rules by Carla Luna Pdf

What happens in the field stays in the field. Or does it? After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of fieldwork. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus, and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore. Field Rules is a second-chance, opposites-attract romance featuring a roguish hero, a fish-out-of-water heroine, and heaps of nerdy archaeological references. It can be read as a standalone.
