I am a geoarchaeologist. I have always been fascinated by what lies beneath our feet—what we walk on, and what stories the ground can tell about the past. This curiosity led me to geoarchaeology, a discipline that allows me to understand how landscapes were formed and how they have been shaped by the combined forces of climate, geology, and human activity.
