Still hard to believe: I've just arrived in central Mongolia where I'll participate in my first archaeological fieldwork since graduating from @uclarchaeology.bsky.social (2014)!

Very grateful to be able to join a project that both aligns with my research interests and expands my horizons!

4. Through numerous travels to Iraq, I was acquainted with the modern realities of the descendants of the Church of the East and with Neo-Aramaic (Sureth). But I knew little about the Church's vast eastwards expansion from Late Antiquity through to the Mongol era, beyond the myths. 4/10
