Articles: I’ve dedicated my life to researching different manifestations of conflict. From hand-to-hand combat to military engagements, conflict archaeology provides an opportunity to reconstruct the past and inform future generations.
Blogposts: I’ve traveled to battlefield across Eurasia, the Indo-Pacific, and the Americas. Researching and excavating these important sites of cultural heritage provides a glimpse into pivotal moments of history that shaped mankind.
