Welcome to the Digging to the Other Side inaugural episode. We're glad to have you digging with us. In this episode, we meet our hosts; Tommy Ng, Anna Coon, Bryan Baldeon, and Daryl Basarte. We talk about what it's like to be Asian hyphenated archaeologists and how that changes the way we see and do archaeology. We talk about the challenges we face because of how the field perceives us, and mostly we pick on Tommy for being old.
