Summary

American archaeologist at Cardiff University who became the public face of academic archaeology's critique of Graham Hancock — most famously in a 3-hour debate on the Joe Rogan Experience — representing evidence-based archaeology against alternative history claims.

Core Contribution

Demonstrated that a credentialed academic could engage with alternative history claims at length in a popular media format and maintain the integrity of the archaeological evidence — making the mainstream case accessible without condescension.
