About

Current research interests:

The reception and adaptation of Syro-Mesopotamian culture by the Hittites.

Current projects:

I have recently completed an edition of the tablets and fragments (in three languages) of the Epic of Gilgamesh recovered from the site of the Hittite capital Hattusa. Next I will consider the milieu and practices of the Hittite royal court and compare these with those of other cultures of the ancient Middle East.

Teaching interests:

Akkadian and Hittite languages; history and culture of the ancient Middle East.
