Greetings! My name is Paul James Cowie (known alternatively as "Paul" or "James" - depends on whom you speak to!) and I was born in Manly, a harbourside suburb of Sydney, Australia in May 1968.
I moved to London, England in January 1998, where I remain indefinitely, working and completing my studies, as well as travelling extensively throughout the world.
An archaeologist by training and profession, I am currently engaged in the heady task of completing my doctoral dissertation with Macquarie University on the relationship between Egypt and Syria-Palestine in the Late Bronze Age. I have excavated extensively in Egypt, Jordan and Israel, working as an area supervisor.
I am the editor of a well-visited web portal, AncientNearEast.net [1], dedicated to exploring and resourcing the Ancient Near East and Egypt.
