Shovelbum


a low-level, migrant archaeologist who works on cultural resource management(crm) projects and survives on a relatively low wage (for someone with a ba) plus per diem. low wages and transient lifestyle are often overcome by living in their pick-up truck or camping. the term is generally pejorative when used by non-professionals but is used pridefully by archaeologists as a mark of having paid one’s dues and having done true dirt archaeology (as opposed to academic archaeology) for dirt pay. it is considered a rite of p-ssage.
a shovelb-m is the opposite of an archaeost-tute.
yeah i know it’s dismal…i was a shovelb-m for five years before i went back to gradschool.
an archaeoligist that is over-zealos about field work. esp. a male archaeologist. probably made popular by a so t-tled ‘zine about archaeological field life that was created by trent de boer in 1997
ted spent 10 months on digs last year, what a shovel b-m.
