Shahina Farid is a British archaeologist who is best known for her work as Field Director and Project Coordinator at the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Turkey. She is currently the scientific dating coordinator for Historic England.[1]
Early life and education
Farid was born in London, England to Pakistani parents who had migrated to England. She spent her early years in Camden, England and studied archaeology at the University of Liverpool.[2]
Archaeological career
After college, Farid worked as a commercial archaeologist in England, Turkey, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.[2] She was hired as field director of the Çatalhöyük project in 1999 and worked for 20 years as Field Director and Project Coordinator at the Neolithic Site, until leaving in 2012.[1]
"Her work in constructing the Çatalhöyük stratigraphic sequence is the cornerstone of countless archaeological and scientific studies, reflected in her publication record of over 40 articles and reports, and without her input, the famous Hodder 'reflexive methodology' would only be a theory".[2]
In 2012, Farid joined English Heritage. As a member of the Scientific Dating Team, she directs the commissioned dendrochronology program and is also honorary secretary for the British Institute at Ankara.[1]
