4/8/2023 0 Comments The gunk space archaeologists![]() This young vanguard of scholars explores not only regions where violence rules out groundwork, but also sites previously invisible from the ground: the ocean floor, dense jungle, even buried cities. Evans and Saturno are among a growing group of archaeologists who use radar, satellite imagery and other advanced technologies to uncover the mysteries surrounding ancient civilizations. But ever since Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge dotted Cambodia with millions of landmines in the 1970s, Lingapura’s ruins have sat mostly untouched.įor Damian Evans and Bill Saturno, now surveying Lingapura from atop a crumbling 1,000-year-old tower, the mines don’t really matter. For part of the 10th century, this pocket of northwestern Cambodia was the capital of the famed Angkorian empire, a sprawling city studded with homes, irrigation channels, and more than 1,000 temples crowned with stone lingam, or phalluses. Interview by Mark Reid, 12 May.If it weren’t for the landmines, Lingapura would be a great place to dig. Eindeloos schatgraven in een doolhof van karton: in elke doos zit een verhaal. Interview by Marten Jesse Pot, 23 October. Looking to the future of Leiden’s legacy collections: taking care of the past, teaching tomorrow's students. Awarded to my poster titled: ‘The gendered household: making space for women in the study of Islamic archaeology in Qatar’. Winner of the scientific poster competition at ARCHON (Research School of Archaeology in the Netherlands) Day, November 2018. Awarded by the York Philosophical Society to the Highest marked Bachelor’s dissertation within the Archaeology Department.

Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies 49, 159-166. The gendered household: making space for women in the study of Islamic archaeology in Qatar. To achieve the aims of my thesis I will combine a chaîne opératoire approach to ceramics studies with organic residue analysis to better understand consumption practices along the Swahili coast during the 1st millennium AD. My PhD research will combine both my interests in ceramics and their production, with my passion for understanding foodways and the development of food cultures in East Africa and Western Asia throughout the Medieval period. I graduated Cum Laude (with honours) from Leiden University in 2021. Using a chaîne opératoire approach to study technological traces present within the collection, allowed me to make precise conclusions about variations in the production sequences for HMP pottery, that the original publication by Franken and Kalsbeek was unable to make. Henk Franken and Jan Kalsbeek in their 1975 book: ‘ Potters of a Medieval Village in the Jordan Valley Excavations at Tell Deir ʻAllā: A Medieval Tell, Tell Abu Gourdan, Jordan ’. ![]() ![]() My thesis re-analysed the Tell Abu Gourdan legacy collection stored within the Leiden depot that had originally been published by Prof. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the production and consumption of Hand-Made Painted (HMP) ceramics reflected the social and economic structure of rural society in the Jordan Valley during the region’s successive occupation by Fatimid, Seljuk-Zengid, Crusader, Ayyubid, and Mamluk rulers (10th-15th centuries AD). My research master’s thesis was titled: ‘ Innovation versus Devolution: Analysing Technological Change in Islamic Hand-Made Painted Ceramics from Tell Abu Gourdan, Jordan ’ and was supervised by Joanita Vroom. During my time at Leiden I benefited from the faculty’s expertise in ceramic studies. My dissertation received the Charles Wellbeloved Prize for its high grade, and was subsequently published Open Access by Archaeopress.Īfter my undergraduate degree, I moved to the Netherlands in 2018 to pursue a research masters at Leiden University. This research project focused on the relationship between objects, space and gendered activities, such as cooking and food preparation within the domestic sphere. I went on to write my undergraduate dissertation using the data from this excavation my dissertation was supervised by Colleen Morgan and was titled: ‘ The gendered household: making space for women in the study of Islamic archaeology in Qatar ’. During my undergraduate degree I participated in the 2016 excavation season at the late Islamic site of Fuwairit, Qatar. I completed my BA (hons) in Archaeology at the University of York in 2018.
