I have been involved with the Edom Lowlands Project and the JHF Archaeological Research Project since 1997. The aims of our research centers on craft production and social change through time in the Faynan region of the southern Levant. I have participated in the 1997 (Excavator), 1999 (Asst. Site Supervisor), 2000 (Field and Lab Coordinator), 2002 (Zooarchaeologist), 2003 (Site Supervisor), 2004 (Area Supervisor), 2006 (Area Supervisor), 2007 (Senior Archaeologist) field projects. Recently, I joined the CALIT2/CISA3 Ethnoarchaeology in India Project as an ethnoarchaeologist. If you are interested in learning more about these projects, excavating in the Middle East or would like more information please visit the Archaeology in the Levant website.

The F.A.P.S of the Southern Levant The Faynan Archaeological and Population Study represents my future endeavor in this region of the southern Levant. Survey, burial, zooarchaeological, and paleobotanical data are brought together to study the population and the dietary components of the Faynan region during the Early Bronze Age. The project will be my post-doctoral work and a spin-off from my doctorate work. |

The village of Swamimalai in the Tanjore District of southern India serves as the background for this project. The focus is on the bronze-casters known as Sthapatis. Over the course of 2 months, we collected qualitative and quantitative data on 150 workshops operated by hereditary and non-hereditary individuals. |
