As a new arrival (today!) I should introduce myself. I have been involved in #archaeology in one way or another (volunteer, undergrad, cheerleader, postgrad, commercial digger, and academic) since I was 16. Since 2002 I’ve worked in #Nokalakevi, #Georgia, co-directing an excavation with colleagues based in #Tbilisi; my PhD (#InvisibleDiggers) was a study of #UK commercial archaeology; and since 2015 I’ve been involved in research on the mental health/ wellbeing benefits of archaeology #AMPHORA
