About
As of August 2010, I have been hired as a Project Director with Statistical Research, Inc. and am engaged in expanding salvage archaeology and archaeological satellite surveys of Egypt, particularly the Nile Delta. I currently direct archaeological projects in southern California, bringing to bear my interests in GIS, remote sensing, and geomorphology.
As the Field Director of the Western Delta Landscape Project, my current research integrates historical maps, ancient texts, and satellite imagery to target survey fieldwork that investigates natural and cultural signatures on the Nile floodplain landscape. Through complementary analyses of topography, surface ceramics, and sedimentary strata, this research sheds new light on the ancient environment and settlement patterns of the region from the New Kingdom to the late Roman period (1535 B.C.E. – 650 C.E.). Furthermore, a previously unmapped branch of the Nile has been confirmed by drill coring and remote sensing. This research was supported by a U.S. Department of State Educational and Cultural Affairs fellowship, and its significance has been recognized with a Whiting Dissertation Fellowship and an award for Best Student Paper at the 2008 meeting of the American Research Center in Egypt. I have expanded this approach to encompass the hinterland of the Classical and Medieval urban center at Tell Timai (ancient Thmouis) in the eastern Delta.
