    Hi, I'm Joe. I'm a computational archaeologist, researching the human ecology and cultural evolution of foraging societies in prehistoric Southwest Asia. My homepage has more information about my off-wiki work.

    On Wikipedia, I work on articles about archaeology, biographies of scientists, and a handful of other subjects. I think it's important to address systemic biases in our coverage and I set up the women in archaeology task force to that end. I'm also an administrator on the English Wikipedia and was a member of its Arbitration Committee in 2019–2020.

    I have one alternative account, Joe Roe (mobile).

    • Brilliant Idea Barnstar Hires.png What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar hank you for coming up with the idea for Administrative action review and seeing it through the RfC process.

I'm looking forward to its impacts, and I'm excited to working together to ensure it succeeds. Wug·a·po·des 19:52, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
