Mary-Ann Ochota is an anthropologist, broadcaster and author.
Her work has taken her across the world, including into the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the Algerian Sahara, across Australia’s Simpson Desert with seventeen camels, and to the slums of Kampala, Dhaka and Delhi to report on subjects as diverse as feral children, homelessness and the impact of poor sanitation. TV credits include Channel 4's Time Team and Unreported World, Animal Planet's Life After: Chernobyl, BBC and Smithsonian's Operation Stonehenge and ITV's Britain's Secret Treasures.
She regularly reports for BBC Radio's From Our Own Correspondent, is a pundit on Sky News Paper Preview and writes for Guardian Science blogs, The Great Outdoors, Geographical and the Daily Telegraph Outdoors section.
Her new book, Hidden Histories: A Spotter's Guide to the British Landscape, reveals the archaeological clues you can spot in the British countryside.
