So, the typical advice on this sub is that you're not looking for a graduate program, you're looking for an *advisor*. Who’s published research on the themes you're interested in (in the last 5 years or so) that’s inspired you? What institution are they based at? In the US, you don’t apply to a department so much as you apply to work with an advisor - who makes a case to the rest of the department that they should accept you.

That said, you might be one of the few types of students that *is* looking for more of a program. If you want to get a focused Master's degree in a specific subject, and then go from there to working in CRM, there are places to do that.

UMass Boston has a great historical archaeology MA. https://www.umb.edu/academics/program-finder/historical-archaeology-ma/[1][2] William and Mary also offers an MA specific to historical archaeology.

I want to focus on Chinese history in my career if I can, especially before the 1900s. Is that any help at all? I haven’t looked into recent publications so I will get to doing that, but other than knowing kind of what direction I want to go I am clueless.
