// Who Am I?
Hi! I’m Smiti. I've studied and traveled the world doing archaeology for the past 15+ years [yes, I have a Ph.D. in it :)]. While I still do research, I love sharing what we do beyond academic journal articles.

Thank you to my Kumari Aunty, Dhama @dhemascupoftea8201 , Dhaya, and Bhavya for helping me get jackfruit pickle footage. Also, thanks to my Mom for checking in with some of our family to learn more about some of the places mentioned in South India. Thank you @gabchomp & @Katharine_Chen for their thumbnail help.
