I am an archaeologist and a history writer for the English edition of Haaretz, where I explore the ancient roots of the world we live in today. I trace the ideas, anxieties, desires, and social behaviors that connect ancient societies to the present, examining the human experience and condition across time. From loneliness and body image to sexuality, mental health, and social identity, my work uncovers the ancient precedents behind many of the concerns we think of as distinctly modern. My articles appear in both the print and digital editions of Haaretz, which is distributed alongside The New York Times international edition.

I specialize in Mediterranean archaeology and hold a master's degree in Classical Art & Archaeology from King's College London. My excavation work has taken me across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. I have excavated in some of the most remote, unforgiving regions on Earth. From the searing heat of deserts and dense rainforest canopies to deep cave systems and rugged coastlines, I go where history lies buried. One of my most challenging assignments was serving as the lead archaeologist for an on-camera expedition that cut through the brutal terrains of the Andes and deep into the heart of the Amazon.

Beyond the field, I spent five years in London, contributing to two British Museum research projects: the post-excavation analysis of material from the Amara West Project, and the reconstruction of historical excavations at Kamiros. I also worked with the Natural History Museum's conservation team to preserve original botanical specimens collected during Captain Cook's second voyage and Charles Darwin's expedition aboard the HMS Beagle.
