Archaeological Interests: Bronze Age in the Mediterranean (specifically Greece and Crete), Egyptian archaeology, geoarchaeology, public education of archaeology, sieving like it's nobody's business, keeping my fellow archaeologists entertained with aural amusement, unearthing the Ark of the Covenant from the bowels of our government

Hobbies: reading (except when it's text books), hanging with my peeps, swinging, eating ice cream, drinking Motion juice boxes, listening to music, lying in the grass, acting like I'm 5 . . .

Fun Fact: I once asked Jerry Rutter if he wanted to join the PEN 15 club. Sadly, he didn't want to.
