Netarchaeology

projects

As a CHIRON research fellow at York I am involved in two website-projects:

the new Star Carr - website
the new Mesolithic Miscellany - website

Together with Prof. Dr. C. Pasda, Marcus Beck MSt and Stefanie Beckert M.A.: Overview of the research on the Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic in Northern Bavaria. As most of the finds and sites were discovered and invesigated by volunteers and enthusiasts, there is a very heterogenous mixture of al kinds of sources on this research. The aim of this project is to give an overview of all research on the Late Palaeolihic and Mesolithic done in Northern Bavaria and to extract further research aims and potential out of this data.

There is also the Archaeologist's supplier Praehistorika, which I founded together with Marcus Beck.
