Madaba Plains Project-`Umayri

I am the chief faunal analyst for the legacy faunal remains from Tell el-‘Umayri, contributing to a large international publication team directed by Dr. Douglas Clark. In this role, I am responsible for the analysis and interpretation of all animal remains recovered during this decades-long excavation. As a major Early Bronze Age urban center, Umayri offers a valuable comparative case for my dissertation research on foodways in the Greater Hesi Region. My work helps ensure that this important legacy assemblage is fully analyzed and meaningfully integrated into broader discussions of urban provisioning and animal management in the Southern Levant.
