Professor Jaafar Jotheri is a prominent Iraqi geoarchaeologist and a professor of landscape archaeology at the University of Al-Qadisiyah. A native of Babylon he has developed a deep and lasting connection to the land of Mesopotamia, both ancient and modern. He was able in 2016 to earn a PhD in geoarchaeology from Durham University in the United Kingdom. With over eighteen years of fieldwork experience by 2026, Jotheri specialises in tracking ancient river-course dynamics, marshes, and irrigation networks. His research investigates in great detail how environmental shifts and modern climate change threaten cultural heritage. A recipient of the ASOR Mesopotamian Fellowship, he led the first systematic archaeological survey of the unstudied Iraqi Western Desert. He frequently collaborates with prestigious international institutions to modernise and decolonise archaeological research in Iraq.
