I'm a director of the Oxford Excavation and Survey Project at Andarin/Androna, Syria, a large site in a semi-arid zone, expanded in late antiquity on the eve of the Islamic Arab conquest of the Levant. This project forms part of a more comprehensive study of the region with regard to financial aspects of building and artefactual production including that of books. My other research, within the wider context of the Empire, combines urban history with study of manufacture and trade, particularly of metalwork.
