Research: "Resources, population and subsistence in Syria-Palestine during the Late Bronze Age"
PhD student in Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". The project aims to study the population of the Syrian-Palestinian region during the Late Bronze Age (1600/1550-1200 BC) through the case studies of Ugarit, Qatna and Megiddo. In order to reconstruct the main subsistence and exploitation strategies and to define the relationship between the city and the surrounding hinterland, this study will be integrated with an analysis of the resources available in the area.
