Leo Sucharyna Thomas (BA Archaeology, MSc Geographic Information Systems)

Thesis title: (Provisional) Mesolithic site prediction using enhaced landscape modelling.

Biography

Background

Leo is undertaking research into Mesolithic site location and movement. Focus is placed on the integration of computational techniques to enhance predictive modelling.

A background in field archaeology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and consultancy, have combined to give an appreciation of accurate, high resolution and contextualised risk modelling.  Especially for periods where the archaeological record or material culture is sparse or ephemeral.

Qualifications
