Thesis Title: Fashioning State and Subject in Late Antique and early Medieval North Africa (500-800)
About
I am an archaeologist with a research focus on the Roman and Islamic periods in North Africa. I am currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University. I received my BA (Hons) in Archaeology, Classics and Classical Art from the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, and an MA in Ancient History from the Department of Classics, Stanford University.
My dissertation explores the transformation of North Africa between AD 500 and 800, a time of remarkable change encompassing the dissolution of the western Roman empire, the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam. I bring together the archaeological evidence from the late antique and early Medieval periods to examine questions of imperialism and identity through the lens of urban and rural landscapes.
I have conducted archaeological fieldwork all over the Mediterranean, and worked on Roman and medieval sites in Morocco, Libya, Spain, Italy, and Turkey. For the last few years, I’ve been supervising the excavation of the medieval cemetery (6th – 15th centuries) attached to the church and monastery of San Pietro di Villamagna in Italy, and am currently writing this up for publication. I am currently the field director of a new survey project of the Ghadames Oasis in Libya (now on hold).
