I’m an archaeologist specializing in Mediterranean archaeology. I hold a master’s degree in Classical Art & Archaeology from King’s College London.

I have worked on excavation campaigns in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. I excavated in some of the most remote, unforgiving environments 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.

As a history writer and columnist for the English edition of Haaretz, I bypass the standard textbook narratives to explore the darker, more unconventional corners of antiquity. My work focuses on the complex, hidden, and taboo aspects of daily life, investigating subjects ranging from the evolution of ancient sexuality to the unsettling origins of early biological warfare.

Beyond the field, I spent five years in London, where I contributed to two research projects at The British Museum, working on post-excavation material from the Amara West Project and reconstructing historical excavations at Kamiros. Furthermore, I worked at the Natural History Museum, where I was involved in archival conservation and the care of original botanical specimens collected during Captain Cook’s second voyage and Charles Darwin’s legendary expedition aboard the HMS Beagle.
