Alexa is an Archaeobotanist from the Goethe University in Frankfurt, specialised in the study of charcoal from archaeological sites using it to understand the ancient African landscapes. Alexa is also one of our teachers at the online course on African Archaeology and Heritage.

In this episode we talk about her journey from botanist to archaeobotanist, her work in Africa, her actual project, Cultivated Landscapes and her wishes to the future.
