I'm thrilled to announce I've just signed the offer for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at Texas Tech, starting in January!
I feel incredibly lucky to continue working with such a supportive department and to keep expanding the DARE lab.
Thank y'all!

Happy to see the work by Wieke de Neef and me being reposted!
For reference, here is the paper where the image is from: Italy's empty hillforts: reassessing urban-centric biases through combined non-invasive prospection methods on a Samnite site.

🚨 New JAS paper! 🚨 We modeled #Qin / #Han wall construction using #rstats + #QuartoPub to show collapse wasn’t just about cost—logistics broke the system. Supplying 350k+ forced migrants likely strained >30% of the Qin state’s population. #Archaeology
