Inspiring workshop on LLMs for Content Analysis in the Digital Humanities by Prof Dr Gerold Schneider & Dr @tannonk.bsky.social at UZH's Digital Society Initiative yesterday!

Looking forward to apply the learnings to my archaeological research ⛏️🏺

Thanks to a fellowship from the American Center for Mongolian Studies, I'll start work tomorrow at the site of Tsagaan Sumiĭn Balgas (Khukh Ordung) in Arkhangai province. Under the excellent supervision of the Institute of Archaeology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences.

Still hard to believe: I've just arrived in central Mongolia where I'll participate in my first archaeological fieldwork since graduating from @uclarchaeology.bsky.social (2014)!

Very grateful to be able to join a project that both aligns with my research interests and expands my horizons!

🎓 Very happy to share that I have received a ✨distinction✨ on my MA dissertation on the dynamics of cultural adaptation of Syriac Christianity by Turco-Mongol communities in 13th/14th century Central Eurasia, marking the end of my Global Cultures MA journey @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social #mongolsky

4. Through numerous travels to Iraq, I was acquainted with the modern realities of the descendants of the Church of the East and with Neo-Aramaic (Sureth). But I knew little about the Church's vast eastwards expansion from Late Antiquity through to the Mongol era, beyond the myths. 4/10
