Curriculum vitae

Wouter B. Verschoof-van der Vaart graduated in Archaeology (BA, Leiden, 2008; MA, Leiden, 2011) with a speciality in Prehistory of North-Western Europe, Field Archaeology, and Material Culture and Artefact Studies. During and after his study, he developed a strong interest in geophysics and other (digital) prospection techniques. After having worked in Dutch commercial archaeology as a Geophysicist and Field Archaeologist for over 10 years, he returned to the Faculty of Archaeology in 2017 as a PhD candidate in Digital Archaeology. In 2022 he defended his PhD on the combination of CNN-based object detection and GIS for archaeological prospection in remotely-sensed data. Currently, he is a guest researcher at the Faculty of Archaeology.
