Leader of the FJHP survey

Specialities: water installations, survey methodology, geoarchaeological questions

I have carried out archaeological field research in different conditions and environments in Finland, Russia, Greece and Jordania. Jordania is of particular interest for me because of its extremely rich and long prehistory. My interests in prehistoric surveys are especially connected with methodology and
researching man-nature relationship in different environments and under changing conditions of nature.
