I’m a Canadian science writer who specializes in archaeology.  My work as a writer often takes me to out of the way places and leads to memorable encounters with both the living and the dead–subjects I like to write about in books and magazine articles.

I’ve written for National Geographic, Scientific American, Archaeology, and many other publications over the past four decades. I’ve been anthologized in The Best American Science and Nature Writing, and I’ve written four books. My fifth, The Northwomen: Stories from the Other Half of the Viking World, published by National Geographic Books, is coming out on September 10, 2024.
