Topic: In the Ground, On your Mind
International Archaeology Day is in October! Find out what archaeologists do with Nadia Waski, who specializes in the northeast region and Native American cultural history. Her talk will delve into how cultural resource management (CRM) benefits us as a growing and changing society. What is CRM? It’s a process that says two values can coexist: progress and the protection of important cultural heritage.

She has 4 years of professional experience in the public sector. She was trained in the Technical Services Division at the Massachusetts Historical Commission, where she transitioned into a preservation planner/archaeologist role.
