Hi, I'm '''Joe'''. I mainly work on articles about [[archaeology]] and biographies of scientists. I'm also an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]] on the English Wikipedia and was a member of its [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] in 2019–2020. In my behind-the-scenes work I try to focus on [[Wikipedia:PRESERVE|preserving good content]] and [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|encouraging new editors]], which has led me to [[Wikipedia:NPP|new page patrol]], [[Wikipedia:AFD|articles for deletion]], and [[Wikipedia:DR|dispute resolution]].

Off Wikipedia, I'm a [[Computational archaeology|computational archaeologist]], studing the economy and [[human ecology]] of the first farming societies in [[prehistory of Southwest Asia|prehistoric Southwest Asia]]. My [https://joeroe.io homepage] has more information about my off-wiki work.

I have two [[Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Legitimate uses|alternate accounts]]: {{user|Joe Roe (mobile)}} for when I'm travelling and {{user|Joe Robot}} for [[WP:SEMIAUTOMATED|semi-automated edits]].
