KHS-A is a Neolithic campsite in Wilaya al-Mudhaybi (وَلاية المضيبي), featuring stone structures, fireplaces, production activities, and multiple occupations! We'll be doing site mapping with kickass new remote sensing techniques, excavation, and environmental sampling this December.

Hello! 👋🏻 I’m an environmental archaeologist who studies the many ways people have successfully adapted to life in drylands over the last 10000 years. I specialize in the analysis of plant remains, fuel resources and subsistence strategies using paleoethnobotany. My research is mostly in 🇴🇲 🇮🇶 and 🇹🇷 🏺
