I am a Mediterranean field archaeologist specializing in the archaeology of first millennium BC Italy and the architecture and urbanism of Italic cultures. My research interests encompass the whole of ancient Italy and the Roman Empire, but in particular I am pursuing issues related both to regionalism and regional interaction and the role played by these phenomena in the fashioning of Italy during the time of the Roman Republic. Educated at Franklin & Marshall College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am at present the Managing Director and a co-principal investigator of the Gabii Project in Central Italy. For the 2009-2010 academic year, I will be Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics in the Department of Classics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
