If you ever wanted to know what an archaeologist's life really is like, you can get the inside scoop in a special adaptation of the Shovel Bum zine. In 1997, Trent and Betsy de Boer tired of endlessly explaining what they did as cultural resource management (CRM) field archaeologists. They decided to produce a comic strip portraying the "shovel bum lifestyle." Now follow T-Bone and friends in living color (and Trent's real voice) as they trudge through the wilds of Arkansas in this charming video by the University of New Mexico's Troy Lovata.
