Archaeology

Archaeology is my profession. Naturally, I like to talk about it, because there is so much interesting going on. I also think that Archaeology offers a lot to everyone, young and old.

For a jubilee volume in honour of Reinhard Bernbeck’s 65th birthday, I was invited to write a chapter about whatever I wanted and that connected me to my former PhD supervisor. Naturally, I wrote about Digital Archaeology and what it means to be a Digital Archaeologist. In my opinion,…

2023-08-25

Climate change is real. I can’t understand people that do not see that, but we’ll leave them aside for now. This blog is (partly) about Archaeology and here is my take: By examining how ancient civilizations navigated shifting environmental conditions, we glean insights that can illuminate a sustainable path…

2023-07-07

Two weeks ago, I was listening to a presentation of Prof. Justin Walsh (Chapman University) about his “International Space Station Archaeological Project”. Is it really true?
