This page contains my posts in reverse chronological order. The latest three posts are presented at the top. The posts are also ordered by month and by category in the archives section below.
I treat my blog as an intellectual sandbox where I can talk about my projects and publications; essay out thoughts about archaeology and Egyptology; post reviews; and offer advice on GIS, satellite imagery and academic life.

Weaponising women: How an article about women’s rights and access is really a criticism of decolonisation.
