About
I'm an archaeologist with specialty in Roman material culture. My previous research was focused on studying childhood, gender, and family life during the Roman period.
I love being in the field. Back in the day before I was directing a project, I worked as an archaeological illustrator. I also worked in the finds lab more than in the trenches.
My other love is Italy, of course. I've had the privilege of working on archaeological projects across Italy for 15 years, including at Pompeii where I worked for 6 years doing post-excavation study of the artefacts from a 14-year long excavation of one of the city's oldest areas. It was just as the project finished up that I was introduced to Libarna back in 2014 and made my first visit to the site in early 2015 to get a handle on Libarna's complicated history since its rediscovery at the end of the 18th century.
I also have a keen interest in ethical issues related to archaeology and I believe strongly in the social responsibilities of archaeologist to conduct research that benefits for local and regional communities.
