About myself
I am Ruben Lelivelt and I work as a freelance physical geographer in Dutch commercial archaeology. From April 2012 onwards I will be living and working in Stavanger (Norway) where I will perform (geo)archaeological fieldwork for the Museum of Archaeology of the University of Stavanger.
After having finished my studies in physical geography at Utrecht University (1996-2001)
I was employed at BOOR (City Archaeology Rotterdam) as a physical geographer, where I carried out archaeological prospection projects in the city as well as in the surrounding rural areas.
Subsequently, I started working as a physical geographer in the commercial Dutch archaeology on a freelance basis.
Alongside my work I kept my knowledge concerning archaeology and earth sciences updated by studying for an MSc in Geoarcheology
at the VU University in Amsterdam (2007-2012).
(Geoarchaeologist use techniques from earth sciences to solve archaeological problems.)
Anyone who is interested in the projects listed below or in professional cooperation within the field of geoarchaeology is welcome to contact me.
