Archaeological Haecceities

Since 1990 I have travelled at least once a year to countries beyond Europe and from 1992 I have done these trips with my wife Dorthe. Our favorite destinations are without a doubt southeast Asia and Indonesia. My long-term goal is to establish an archaeological project in this area, preferably on one of the islands in Indonesia. We prefer to travel off the beaten track and tries to avoid the tourist traps as much as possible, although this is getting harder every year. In the future I will post something from each trip. Note that trips to Latin America excludes my field work in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Argentina.
