Amanda Baker is an archaeologist, educator, and enthusiast of all things related to past cultures. Her mission is to encourage children to have a passion for learning and exploring the world around them! She is originally from Atlanta, GA, and has lived or traveled to the United Kingdom, Greece, Germany, and Italy. Amanda studied Anthropology and Mediterranean Archaeology at Emory University and Mesopotamian Archaeology at the University of Cambridge. She is interested in studying international relationships between Mediterranean cultures during the Bronze Age, but loves learning new things about cultures around the world. When she is not writing, you can find Amanda planning her next excavation adventure, staring out at the stars, reading something from either Neil Gaiman, Douglas Adams, Mark Twain, or J.R.R. Tolkien, or coming to the conclusion that, once again, there is always next year for the Atlanta Braves. Her company, Panda Archaeology, provides tools and resources for children, teachers, and parents to become engaged in the history that is all around them and throughout the world!
