Might as well do an #introduction post as it has been a while...

Hello there Fediverse! I am an environmental archaeologist interested in how past communities interacted with and shaped their environments (and vice versa). Just finished my #PhD (Physical #Geography at #Plymouth) focusing on the #HumberheadLevels. For my thesis, I combined #pollen analysis, #GIS, and #geoarchaeology to understand relationships between people and #wetland #landscapes. I recently passed my viva, so I am currently looking for work.

My published work thus far includes contributions on land cover reconstruction in complex wetland systems and chapters on #anarchist approaches to #archaeology and #heritage practice. I have a few more pieces in the works, and little time to do them all.

As far as research goes, I have been mostly interested in challenging the 'pristine #nature vs human impact' binary, the politics of how we interpret past landscapes, and unpicking what we actually mean when we talk about 'natural' environments and the messy reality of human-environment coevolution.

Reviving this account to catch up with your lovely faces and to see what's happening in #archaeology #paleoecology #gis #wetlands #politicalecology and related fields. 💗

I've passed my #viva (yay!) and can now share two recent publications:

First, our article on reconstructing prehistoric land cover in the Humberhead Levels is now out in Vegetation History and #Archaeobotany.

We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach to produce spatially-informed quantitative reconstructions across four #prehistoric periods, working through the complexities of #wetland-rich 'blue-green' #landscapes where #freshwater and #marine systems intersect.

Second, I contributed to the #archaeology chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of #Anarchism (March 2026), which connects #anarchist theory and #history to contemporary political developments.

More publications on the way as well and on to what comes next, whatever that might be (pls send me your #postdoc postings 🙏 😅 ).

Recently, our first-year GeoTech students visited Direção-Geral do Território (DGT) to explore how geospatial data supports land management and spatial planning. 🗺️

During the visit, students were introduced to both historical and modern technologies, gaining insights into applications of geodesy, cartography, and web-based geospatial services.

We would like to thank the DGT team for sharing their expertise. ✨
