I'm currently writing a paper (more on that tomorrow when we submit it) in which my PI describes me as a Genomic Archaeologist - which I thought was a pretty fine name for a blog.
Genomic archaeology (pretty similar to Genetic Archaeology I guess, just larger scale) does actually pretty much describe my current project - we're digging around in genomes to find old sequences, tracing their lineage back and trying to predict when they originated and what happened to them on the way.
So that's pretty much what I'll be talking about. And maybe a bit of actual archaeology as an aside!
