About
On the 22 of March I will defend my PhD-thesis ‘A fragmented history. A methodological and artefactual approach to the study of ancient settlement in the territories of Satricum and Antium’. In this thesis I discuss the results of four case-studies that elaborate on the Astura and Nettuno surveys carried out between 2003 and 2005 by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen). Specifically I probe the suitability of using survey data to investigate different aspects of the Roman economy (such as demography, town-countryside relations, quantifying trade, economic growth and decline).
Currently I am working, together with Tymon de Haas, as a post-doctoral researcher in the NWO-funded research project 'Fora, stationes, and rural sanctuaries: the role of minor centres in the economy of Roman Central Italy'. Within the ambit of this five-year project (2011-2016) my main task is the study of the materials (especially pottery) collected during (off)-site surveys and small-scale excavations in order to reconstruct local and regional systems of production and exchange (assisted by a part-time researcher concerned with archaeometric studies).
