I am an archaeologist in all its conventional meaning and consequence. I’m deeply devoted to things, digging holes, oversized orange hi-vis workwear, fast changing weather (in Denmark, more often than not, this means wet) and the never-ending quest attempting to comprehend humanity through its material remains.

For me, curiosity is what drives archaeology. I do not believe that we as human beings are meant to understand everything. Therefore, I feel more drawn by the process; pondering meaning, coincidence, agency (human and material), time and my own impact on these things.

Archaeology is about challenging the ways in which we speculate, not settling for easy answers or clear-cut narratives. Not dividing archaeology into rigid sub-fields but embracing its myriad possibilities.
Ultimately, it is about keeping the curiosity alive.
