Submitted, guess I'll see you there! Bring sunscreen because the Algarve's sun is no joke!

About Mersa Gawasis: I should be able to make it to SafA 2025 in Faro, where I plan to present kickstart results from the 2023-24 field seasons - a whole lotta stuff from Stone Age scatters up to Industrial Archaeology, but it's the rock shelters that always make for the best photos to flex

On top of it, I am lecturer of Quaternary Geology and Climates at the Earth Sciences Dept of the University of Milan, I coordinate student logistics for the Bronze Age dig of Poviglio (still UniMi), and am Geoarchaeology Field Director for the Italian Mission to Mersa Gawasis (Egypt)

Currently I hold a PostDoc position for GIS geoheritage analyses for the preservation and valorization of the UNESCO site of Arslantepe, working with the Sapienza-RomaTre-Tuscia joint mission. This is mostly a technical service kind of work, but I plan to publish on the methodological aspect

Some more collaborative stuff should be out soon, and in this compilation I didn't include progress reports and book chapters - just DM me for any of that

And Sudan always in a special place in my heart - geomorphology and remote sensing as the most powerful tool to monitor land use and plan new surveys

Collaborations on formation processes in arid lands always active, this time regarding the canals of the Tower of Salut in Oman

PhD over, and I walked the walk towards completely new horizons for my first PostDoc position - Third Mission, museum studies, research sustainability and Neanderthals in coastal northern Italy.

By the end of 2025 there will be a big one, working on it!

And one on north Italian Bronze Age, because it's always good to have a stroll in your own backyard every now and then (I got more on the general topic but they ended up on books edited in Italian - DM me if interested)

Meanwhile, there went a couple of works on the demise of the Assyrian water management infrastructures in northern Mesopotamia - research paper and related micromorphology photographic dataset

Then my favourite one from my PhD: making sense of the paleoenvironmental data from a region the size of northern Italy - not the ultimate work, but I am quite proud of it (please cite it lol)

Back to the original quest, geomorphological-archaeological nexus in Mahal Teglinos - the most important yet still mostly unknown late Holocene archaeological site of the easternmost Sahel

Then came a lucky side quest on the obscure east Sudan's Islamic funerary tradition, which is still getting more attention than I could anticipate
