Don Boyer is an Adjunct Lecturer in the Discipline of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Western Australia. He specializes in the analysis of ancient water management systems, settlement history, and palaeolandscapes of the Near East, with a particular focus on the application of aerial archaeology. His doctoral research, awarded in 2019, investigated aspects of water management history in the Greco-Roman Decapolis city of Gerasa (modern Jarash) in northern Jordan. Don specializes in the archaeological interpretation of remote sensing datasets, including satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and historical photographs of the Near East. He currently directs the Jarash Water Project, an ongoing investigation into the historical water management in the Jarash district of northern Jordan. His interdisciplinary approach combines geoarchaeological studies with careful analysis of published and unpublished sources, and he has published extensively on the archaeology of the Jarash district, including significant contributions to the understanding of water management from AD 750, along with separate studies on water mills, monumental nymphaeum, landscape history, and the archaeological contributions of 19th-century travelers.
