I have participated in several archaeological projects across the Mediterranean, spanning periods from the Early Iron Age to the fifth century CE. As a trench supervisor with the Azoria Project in Crete and the Omrit Excavation Project in the Golan Heights, I trained students enrolled in field schools in both the practical techniques and theoretical foundations of archaeological fieldwork. I instructed students in identifying stratigraphic changes, recovering and documenting artifacts, and using surveying tools such as the total station and dumpy level to record topographic data. I also guided them in documenting finds and interpreting data within the broader context of the excavation. 

In addition to excavation work, I have extensive experience in finds laboratories and ceramics analysis. I have worked on ceramics teams for projects including the Gabii Project in Italy, the Bir Madhkur Project in Jordan, and the French Excavation at Bi’r Samut in Egypt. My responsibilities included sorting and dating ceramic material, conducting fabric analysis, producing drawings of whole vessels and sherds, and reconstructing fragmentary objects. At the Gabii Project, which operates as a field school, I supervised students in the ceramics lab, teaching them how to process finds, handle and clean artifacts, and identify common wares and vessel types encountered during excavation. 

Together, these experiences have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of archaeological research and the practical skills required to interpret material culture. Whether supervising excavations, analyzing ceramic assemblages, or training students in field and laboratory methods, I am committed to advancing both the technical and interpretive dimensions of archaeology. These experiences also inform my teaching, where I emphasize hands-on learning alongside critical inquiry. I aim to equip students with the methodological tools and analytical frameworks necessary to engage thoughtfully with the material record and to understand the complex histories it preserves.
