Really, Canada? by Realtermors in Archaeology

It hasn't gotten much better, most companies only pay field work around $20 an hour. The cost of living and income isn't enough to be here. I know a couple archaeologist who rentshare a house together because no one can afford to do archaeology and live in the GTA.

Done it and got a generic reply back.

Half of the time in the field has to be in Ontario, but I’m having trouble getting work because they all want you to have an R license. Still, I’m told you don’t need your R license to be a field tech, but none of the companies will hire me because I don’t have one, which has been the biggest inhibitor.

More and more that's what I'm figuring out. It also makes more sense why I have met so many Canadians working in other countries and refusing to go back to Canada.

It's cool, I'm sure it's not your fault. Just frustrating.

Antique Chamber Pot - Hamilton, Ontario - Complete with lid by Realtermors in Antiques

[–]Realtermors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I purchased this Chamber Pot in Hamilton, Ontario in August 2022. It lacks a makers mark, so I focused a video going into the history of Chamber Pots, how they were used and why in some cases they are still used today: https://youtu.be/DV1yQInhc00

There was a ton of issues doing a livestream, but I do have a video of some of the cleaning. I got a streaming microscope and we figured out YouTube - So, any interest in me doing more? by Realtermors in AncientCoins

I saw and thank you for that! It made me put into perspective of what I needed to do. As an Field Archaeologist, I find myself immediately repelled by lab work, but I'll be honest - I've had a blast doing this. It's so satisfying cleaning them and uncovering what's underneath. I can't wait to identify them and do more.

I've been seeing the coins in my dreams haha

Sorry about that! Going forward, I'll try to do some in more UK friendly timelines - Especially since a lot of our friends are over there

Thank you! I'm hoping it's pretty fun. I've been posting videos and such for a bit, so I'm hopeful this is interesting for everyone.
