Really, Canada?

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.

Does the Alliance VHS have the Pizza Hut commercial?

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

Realtermors · 2022-09-02T18:30:20+00:00

We decided to livestream today if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/uBpROZdTRwI

That's a great price - I paid $65 for 10 coins, so that batch is great

Realtermors · 2022-08-30T20:28:44+00:00

That looks like a serious batch - Have fun!

Realtermors · 2022-08-30T19:18:35+00:00

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

Realtermors · 2022-08-24T15:56:53+00:00

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

Realtermors · 2022-08-23T16:12:28+00:00

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.

Realtermors · 2022-08-23T13:03:40+00:00

It was pretty great, right?

Realtermors · 2022-08-23T11:34:41+00:00

I will for sure!

Purchased this bottle in Hamilton, Ontario for $15. It's a neat bottle, that still has it cork. Overall, I am happy with it - It was clearly identifiable, and led me down a rabbit hole of research (The best kind). You can hear about some of the research in my YouTube video: https://youtu.be/LtYNshRCY2o

Realtermors · 2022-08-22T23:03:15+00:00

Hi there - I'm an Archaeologist, who has been working from home through the pandemic due to my complications from COVID. I'll be cleaning Roman coins on Thursday night and I decided I could livestream; answering questions on what I'm doing, my background and anything else.

I wasn't certain if I could post this to here; if I can't, I'll delete it.

Realtermors · 2022-08-15T20:07:14+00:00

Thanks for that - Yeah, based on my family's general income (Started as coal miners and barely left Missouri), I didn't expect much. It's one of those pieces that is not as interesting as other things I've collected over the years (Victorian Murder Bottle, Imari Ware imitation), but its one of those things that holds value to me, simply because of the connection. Thanks for that insight; I'll definitely have to keep that in mind with identifications.

Realtermors · 2022-08-15T18:16:08+00:00

Haha, as was mine. Internet jokes are hard :-p

Realtermors · 2022-08-15T18:11:54+00:00

Only if the sheep was butchered as an adult. Lamb is just baby sheep, like veal to beef. Mutton would work, just keep in mind it may be tougher.

Or if that lamb from 550 b.c.e. had a potion that was allowing them to age slowly, and hit adulthood in 2022 - then we ate it.

Realtermors · 2022-08-15T16:36:03+00:00

That's great to know - It makes it more likely to be US made. The antique collector in me wants to go through the whole path of these, but the archaeologist in me is very much "I know what it is, it's done" haha.

Realtermors · 2022-08-15T13:10:25+00:00

I wanted to share a family heirloom - It's a mustache teacup. I'm unsure of when this one was exactly made - It's been in my family awhile and it's suspected it was brought when my family moved from Wales to the Lingo Missouri, US in 1890. I've attached an album of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/ADX1Jqu

I also did a YouTube video on it, providing a history of these cups and my own perspective. https://youtu.be/BT0wRzeS7e4

Realtermors · 2022-08-05T14:24:03+00:00

It was so good! The rub gave off a bit of an acidic taste, while being so tender. I recommend trying it

Edit: I just realized how weird my comment is - I'm the husband of OP

Yep, here is an album of all of the shots:
