My main research concerns the archaeology and history of Roman North 
Africa and the Levant, with recent field projects in Tunisia 
(Leptiminus, a port city), Libya (The UNESCO Libyan Valleys 
Archaeological survey of the predesert; Fezzan: the territory of the 
Garamantes tribe in the northern Sahara) and Jordan (the Wadi Faynan 
pre-desert mining and farming landscapes). I have particular interests 
in landscape archaeology, rural settlement patterns, arid zone farming 
technology, olive oil production and trade, the nature of Roman 
imperialism (with post-colonial perspectives). I am currently Chairman 
of the British-based Society for Libyan Studies.
