Autorenporträt
Miriam C. Davis first worked on an archaeological dig at the age of seventeen. She first visited the Middle East at the age of sixteen. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Emory University with a degree in history, she spent a year in Scotland at the University of St. Andrews on a Bobby Jones Scholarship, studying history and archaeology. After receiving an M.A. in history from the University of California at Santa Barbara, she spent a year at the University of York (England) as a Fulbright fellow, taking an M.A. in medieval archaeology. She then received a Ph.D. in medieval history from UCSB in 1995. Her scholarly work has concentrated on waste disposal and city cleaning in late medieval English towns, but she has also written for the popular press on archaeology and travel. Since 1995 she has taught at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. Dr. Davis has participated in archaeological excavations in Alabama, Mississippi, England, and Scotland.
