About Me

I am a professional archaeologist with field experience in Alaska, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Belize, and Mongolia. I have a B.A. with a double major in anthropology and history, with a minor in geography. I also have an M.A. in Anthropology, with a technical focus on zooarchaeology. I am primarily interested in the archaeology of the Upper Paleolithic, but I have a general interest in ancient history and prehistory, from the stone age to the iron age.

Dr. Morag Kersel and I discuss the ethics of archaeology, including the challenges posed by looting, the illegal antiquities trade, and the curation crisis. We focus on these issues in Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, through the lens of Dr. Kersel's archaeological and ethnographic research.
