Archaeology PhD busy being a postdoc.
Researching interactions of ancient climate, agriculture, and people.
Otherwise hiking, running and playing games.
Final paper from my PhD now published in Human Ecology - The climatic resilience of the Sasanian Empire. We compiled and critiqued climate-society evidence in the Sasanian Empire, finding a lack of impacts from the major 6th c. drought that was detrimental elsewhere.

Our paper on the Holocene hydroclimate of the Aegean region, designed as an accessible resource for archaeologists and ancient historians, is now fully published with the correct supplementary file (the Peloponnese column was messed up before somehow, my mistake)
