Office Hours: Wednesday, 11:30a.m.–1:30p.m. (Science 1, room # 206A)

M.Phil. Vienna University, Austria, 2005 (Middle Eastern Archaeology and Ancient Semitic Languages)

Current Ph.D. research is an archaeological investigation of technological knowledge in prehistoric societies, based on an analysis of stone tool production at the site of Fistikli Höyük (BC 5980-5740) in Southeastern Turkey. Using a chaîne opératoire approach, this research moves away from mechanistic understandings of technology and instead conceptualizes technological practices as the result of embodied gestures of ‘communities of practice.’

Other research interests focus on theoretical and methodological issues of material culture studies; heritage politics and (neo-)imperialism; colonialist and nationalist archaeologies; ethnohistory and historiography.
