Researcher for Sudan
Tohamy holds a BA in Archaeology and Sociology from the University of Dongola, Sudan. His main professional interests lie in archaeology and community archaeology and he has a particular passion for community archaeology as it intertwines his love for the subject with a commitment to inclusivity. By involving local communities in excavations and research, he aims to democratise access to shared heritage, fostering a sense of connection and ownership: a collaborative approach which not only enriches archaeological insights but also empowers individuals to actively participate in preserving and understanding their cultural legacy.
Tohamy brings over 9 years of research experience, having spent much time working as part of international university projects in Qatar, Kenya, Germany and the UAE.
Outside of work, Tohamy enjoys long walks and also enjoys football, both playing and watching.
The allure of uncovering the remnants of past civilisations and piecing together their stories captivates my curiosity. Engaging in archaeological endeavours allows me to delve into the rich tapestry of human history, decoding the mysteries of bygone eras. Through these pursuits I find profound fulfilment in contributing to both scholarly knowledge and community engagement, bridging the past and present.
