I’ve added a new Q&A by Dr Adela Sobotkova to the Archaeologist Q&As. Adela describes her path from her early interest in archaeology at the age of ten, inspired by the book, ‘Dream of Troy’ by Arnold C. Brackman to her position now as a Research Associate at the University of New South Wales.

Adela touches on the satellite remote sensing work she did at Zagora with her colleague, Petra Janouchova. Her post portrays the hard work but also the great fun that can be had in archaeology.

And congratulations to Adela and her partner, Shawn Ross, on the birth of their baby, Vivienne, in December.
