My research focuses on geoarchaeology and site formation processes, with a particular emphasis on human–environment interactions and landscape dynamics. I am especially interested in how environmental change and depositional processes shape archaeological contexts and how these processes inform interpretations of past human behaviour.
Alongside geoarchaeological approaches, I am also engaged in experimental archaeology, which I consider a key methodological tool for understanding cultural adaptation and technological practices through hands-on reconstruction and replication.
I am currently the founder of the Achara Young Archaeologists’ Association, an initiative aimed at making archaeology more accessible, engaging, and publicly visible, especially among younger generations.
My work combines scientific approaches with experimental and community-based perspectives to promote a more inclusive and dynamic understanding of archaeology.
