I talked to Marg because I wanted to find out more about the new group she started, The Fair Field Foundation. My time in consulting archaeology was short-lived and I wanted to find out how Marg was trying to make it a better place.

In this episode we talk about:

• Marg’s academic and employment journey prior to archaeology and how she got into Alberta archaeology





• how her economics degree and employment and life experience influenced her business perspective in archaeology





• her experiences as a woman in archaeology





• unconscious bias, “failing up”, a success – based vs. limiting mindset, and how the word “just” implies a limiting belief





• starting her own company to achieve her own potential, and how she views “failure”





• archaeology as a sustainable career





• The Fair Field Foundation and how it aims to support and mentor women in archaeology across Canada





• how Marg views the future of Alberta archaeology in the next 5 – 10 years
