I am an archaeologist, and my primary experience (thus far) has been as a
field assistant at Tel Dor in Israel. Currently, I am studying the
development of the state in Mesopotamia and plan to excavate at Kazane
Hoyuk with Patricia Wattenmaker of the University of Virginia in
Southeatern Turkey. Subsequent to completing my masters in Mesopotamian
culture change, I will return to the
Mediterranean, as my main interests lay in attempting to understand
cultural interaction, exchange, and relations in the circum-mediterranean
region. I am interested in all periods prior to Roman hegemony, but intend
to concentrate on late Chalcolithic and early Bronze periods in my
dissertation, working on the coast of the Mediterranean, in Israel, Turkey,
Greece, Crete, or Cyprus.
