Assistant Professor of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Jennie Bradbury
My research interests fall into five broad categories: social complexity in the ancient Near East; the role of 鈥榥on-optimal鈥 zones; burial traditions and mortuary practices; landscape archaeology, GIS and archaeological survey techniques; and cultural heritage. Over the past five years, I have worked on projects which have explored a variety of different topics, from Bronze Age settlement patterns to Islamic burial traditions. I have been involved in excavation and survey projects in Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, and the UK. I am currently director of the K奴bb膩 Coastal Survey Project, Lebanon, funded by the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) and the Honor Frost Foundation (HFF). In 2017 I published a co-edited volume entitled, 鈥淓ngaging with the Dead: Exploring Changing Human Beliefs about Death, Mortality and the Human Body鈥.
