Researcher, archaeologist

I am an archaeologist living in Helsinki, Finland.  I work as a researcher at the University of Helsinki, Dept. of Archaeology, preparing a PhD thesis on the Stone Age rock paintings of Finland (ca. 4000-2000 BC). I am also closely involved with the Finnish excavations in Petra, Jordan (FJHP or Finnish Jabal Haroun Project). Since 1998, we have been excavating a Byzantine monastery and pilgrimage complex (5th-9th centuries AD) on top of the mountain Jabal an-Nabi Haroun and performing intensive survey in its immediate surroundings. For more career-related information, see my curriculum vitae (only in Finnish).

I have collected here some resources mostly related to rock art studies. Much of the material is in Finnish even though this page, for the sake of convenience, is in English.
