I am an archaeologist and historian with a background in the natural sciences and digital applications (cf. https://kosmossociety.chs.harvard.edu/?p=46382). I currently co-direct the Southern Phokis Regional Project (https://kastrouli.com) in central Greece, which includes excavations at the Late Mycenaean citadel of Desfina-Kastrouli (possibly Homeric Anemoreia), and founded the ARCHEM Project in 2003 to make organic residue analysis more widely applicable to all scholars of antiquity, a goal best exemplified by the OpenARCHEM archaeometric databaase (https://openarchem.com).
