I cannot escape archaeology even on a Saturday hike.

Recharging.

Looking for a postdoc position in quantitative palaeoecology with focus on vegetation? Come to work in my interdisciplinary project in Prague (full-time for 2 years).

Greetings from Prague!

Where am I?

I think you can rule out the shorts :)

Both your website and the registration portal for the conference in Belgrade are down for a while already. I'd like to register, but it isn't possible.

First winter hiking trip of the season and with absolutely amazing visibility over hundreds of kilometers stretching through the former Czechoslovakia from the Krkonoše Mountains to High Tatras. It's good to be home.

While on the move from London to Czech Republic I received good news! My project application received funding and from January I can set up a small team in Prague diving into investigations of interactions between humans, woodland and herbivores during the prehistory.

Last day in my office at @uclarchaeology.bsky.social. It was great to have these views on London from the 6th floor for 2,5 years!

🏺Although we are a new journal (Quaternary Environments and Humans) one of our paper got a coverage from New Scientist! Congrats to the authors - M. Kempf and S. Denis. institutions.newscientist.com/article/2453...

Holiday is over, now having very different views from my office in London preparing for the EAA in Rome.

Hiking and wild camping in Czech mountains is never disappointing for many reasons - bizarre rural sceneries, great views, beatiful houses and picturesque pubs.

I'm still quite shocked and disappointed that I've seen these AI-generated pictures uncritically used as a realistic representation of Central European prehistory. As I was teaching on gender archaeology in the same building of Masaryk Uni we had great material for discussions with my students.

First job application of the year submitted! 💪

Whenever I travel within the UK I'm always surprised by all the decay. Old lido in Margate.

In Jena at the Max-Planck Institute for Geoanthropology discussing big historical and archaeological databases. The research facilities are amazing here!
