Nick Jackson
Archaeologist and Tour Guide
Nick Jackson graduated from the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, then worked for over a decade as a field director, excavating the ancient history of the Eastern Mediterranean.
After a research post at the University of Cambridge, he has spent over 25 years as a guide lecturer in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Oman.
Ongoing research has recently produced a synthesis of Oman’s story, placing it surprisingly at the centre of a more familiar narrative of Mesopotamian history. A very young nation in the contemporary world, exciting echoes of its unique past can still be heard in Oman today.
In 1993, after a project in Bolivia for the University of Berkeley, California, Nick moved to Berlin to work at the Academy of Art, and has guided on German and central european military history, has been a guest lecturer on Holocaust Studies at Stanford in Berlin, consulted for and presented TV documentaries and is a book researcher and sometime journalist.
