:user:Athinaios

Currently based in Athens, Greece.

Have previously lived in Dublin, Ireland, and in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Expect, but do not hope, to spend the future in the Waste Land.

===Profession===

Archaeologist, specialised in prehistory, especially Neolithic. Also in prehistoric ritual and religion, as well as in use of caves.

I have been involved in archeological fieldwork in Germany, France, Ireland and Greece (mainly Crete).

In the past (including the very recent past), I have worked as barman, journalist, translator, invigilator, ghostwriter, photographer, proofreader, lecturer, chauffeur, voice actor, night porter, tour guide, surveyor, and radio soccer pundit.

Still working on my doctoral thesis...

I'm in two minds as to whether wikipedia editors should have to provide their actual name. There's good arguments either way. If you need mine for some reason, you can email me.

Archaeology, various aspects and areas.

Greece, Ireland, Germany (all aspects in each case, especially archaeology, history, cultural history, art and architecture, politics, literature and culinary tradition).

Architecture, ancient to modern.

Feline banter.

Contributing to:

• English-language Wikipedia
• [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:athinaios German-language Wikipedia] (occasionally)

I intend to contribute occasionally in all fields relevant to my own interests, whenever I come across something that I feel I can add to. See {{User|Athinaios}} or my [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=athinaios&site=en.wikipedia.org edit count].

• I have added a series of 20 articles on the Foreign Archaeological Institutes in Greece. Two of those articles already existed (BSA and ASCSA) but have been modified entirely. EfA existed in a somewhat different form under a different title.
