Archaeology PhD busy being a postdoc.
Researching interactions of ancient climate, agriculture, and people.
Otherwise hiking, running and playing games.
Final paper from my PhD now published in Human Ecology - The climatic resilience of the Sasanian Empire. We compiled and critiqued climate-society evidence in the Sasanian Empire, finding a lack of impacts from the major 6th c. drought that was detrimental elsewhere.
