Research Interests
The History and Archaeology of First Millennium
Syria
My research interests focus on the origin and
development of the Aramaean states of Syria in the
first millennium B.C. more particularly on their
formation process. The increasing archaeological and
epigraphic evidence is leading to the revision of
traditional views regarding the beginning of the
Syrian Iron Age and the role the Aramaeans played in
the formation of Syrian culture.
The History and Archaeology of Lebanon in the
Bronze and Iron Ages
The main focus of my research is Lebanese
archaeology with special focus on MBA urban
characteristics and Phoenician epigraphy and
material culture. These periods have suffered from a
serious lack of archaeological information for the
last decades and this gap is being progressively
bridged by the results of recent excavations in
Lebanon.

An Introduction to the Archaeology of Lebanon
from Prehistory to Hellenistic Times :(together
with Prof. Hermann Genz) An up-to-date book on the
archaeology of Lebanon has long been overdue. In
order to close this gap Hermann Genz and the author
are currently writing a book entitled An
Introduction to the Archaeology of Lebanon
from Prehistory to Hellenistic Times. This book
will present the archaeological results from past
and current excavations as well as the
relevant textual sources for the Bronze and Iron
Ages in Lebanon. The
project is in an advanced stage of research.
