Giselle Király | dirt nerd

Whether I’m digging on site, filming in a studio, or analysing skeletal assemblages in a lab, my mission is the same: making the past accessible to the present. I’m both a public archaeologist and human remains expert, and I specialise in commercial fieldwork, community heritage, wellbeing through archaeology, and teaching other "dirt nerds" how to decode history. My work bridges the gap between nerdy scientific analysis and the deeply personal connection humans share with the past — and I love it.

In archaeology, anyone can dig, and everyone’s story matters. And I’m proud to share those stories.

Where can you find me? Well, if I’m not out in a field covered in dirt, you can see what I’ve been up to on The Archaeologist’s Notebook, with new videos every Tuesday and Friday. And if you want to see more? Check out Time Team and History Hit, you’ll find me there too. I’ve even written for The National Trust, so if the literary angle is your thing, I’ve got that covered too.
