Research
My research revolves round the social and economic history of the ancient Near East, with special emphasis on Sumer in the 3rd millennium BC and Assyria between 1400 and 600 BC. In particular I have published and edited Assyrian government and business archives, and excavated both a Sumerian city at Abu Salabikh in southern Iraq and a Bronze to Iron Age regional centre at Kilise Tepe in southern Turkey. A particular concern is the integration of written documentary evidence with the archaeological record.
