I am a field archaeologist with multi-season experience supervising excavations, training teams, and documenting finds. His work spans trench planning, layer marking, context recording, pottery studies, and artifact registration. Arjun’s core interest is using careful field methods and scientific analysis to reveal how communities lived, moved, and interacted across regions and centuries.

I value science that reaches the public. Some of the work I contributed to field support and documentation has been discussed in major Indian media, helping connect scientific results to broader audiences.
I am passionate about the human stories behind datasets: migration, trade, faith, and local craftsmanship. He continues to collaborate with scholars, students, and heritage organizations, contributing images and field notes to public-facing articles that help communities see their past with clarity and pride.
