Biography

After obtaining a MD and PhD in Archaeology from Leiden University (the Netherlands), Hans Barnard is now Associate Researcher at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology as well as Associate Adjunct Professor in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures.

As an archaeological surveyor, photographer and ceramic analyst he has worked on sites in Armenia, Chile, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iceland, Panama, Peru, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.

He is currently involved in research projects investigating the prehistory of the Tigray region in north-western Ethiopia and the ancient production techniques of selected artifacts in Museo Egizio in Turin (Italy). Both projects are fieldschools, offering opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, see http://www.ifrglobal.org.

With W.Z. Wendrich and R.M. Bridgman he has published “Report of the Baynun Mapping Project” (Leiden, 1999), with J.W. Eerkens “Theory and Practice of Archaeological Residue Analysis” (Oxford, 2007), with W.Z. Wendrich “The Archaeology of Mobility: Old World and New World Nomadism” (Los Angeles, 2008), and with K. Duistermaat “The History of the Peoples of the Eastern Desert” (Los Angeles, 2012).
