My doctoral research (Aesthetics and Identity at Qustul and Ballana, Lower Nubia c. 380-500AD) was a reinterpretation of the material remains in the X-Group royal tombs of Lower Nubia. The sites of Qustul and Ballana remain a central research concern, and itend to further investigate the material culture from the sites which dates to earlier periods.
Archaeological theory remains a central aspect of my ongoing research, and this currently relates to archaeology and the senses and archaeologies of the body, particularly with reference to North-East Africa.
I co-direct (with Geoff Emberling of the University of Michigan) the excavations at the 25th Dynasty site at El Kurru in North Sudan, which is generously funded by the Qatar Sudan Archaeological Project (QSAP). We work at the site in collaboration with Professor Abbas Sidahmed Zarroug
