short cv

I am currently working on a PhD project on the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Switzerland and eastern France, studying chaînes opératoired and use wear traces on chipped stones artefacts from two sites (see the “projects” section). During the past decade and a half I have also worked as a project director and site director for a number of companies and archaeological units in the Netherlands and Switzerland. The projects included large area excavations, research fieldwork, surveys and test-trenching projects:

  • the Netherlands (e.g. for ADC ArcheoProjekten, Archol, Archeo-Media, Synthegra Archeologie, Bureau Archeologie Gemeente Nijmegen; Mesolithic and Modern Age and about everything in-between); and
  • Switzerland (e.g. for the Kantonsarchäologie Kanton Aargau, the Kantonsarchäologie Luzern, the Archäologischer Dienst Bern, the Archäologischer Dienst Graubünden and ProsPect GmbH; Mesolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman period, early and Late Medieval).

Throughout the past 16 years, I have been part of a number of research projects in various functions (excavator, trench supervisor, shared site director):

  • Traversar – survey project of some of the main passes of the canton of the Grisons
