About
Drawing on both archaeological and textual evidence, my research examines cultural, religious, and trade connections between Egypt and the rest of the ancient Mediterranean world. My forthcoming book, Hybrid Cult in the Household: Egyptianizing Figurines from Delos (Columbia Studies in the Classical Tradition 36), investigates religious syncretism and cultural hybridity in the domestic sphere through a study of locally-made Egyptianizing terracotta figurines from the Hellenistic site of Delos. I am currently working on a second monograph dealing with "Nilotic scenes" and the Roman reinterpretation of Egyptian religion. I have also excavated and surveyed at a range of Bronze Age through early modern sites in Egypt, Greece, and the United States.
