As part of the Department of Archaeology\u2019s evening lecture series, Dr. N\u00e9h\u00e9mie Strupler (Durham University) will deliver a talk titled \u201cCrossing the Taurus in the 19th century BCE\u201d on Wednesday, March 26th, at 17:30 in C-Block amphi.<\/p>\n
This talk will address a gap in current research by exploring the implications of travelling between northern Iraq and central Anatolia in the 19th century BCE. To do this, I draw on archaeological data and sensorial insights gathered during a 225 km hike in the Antitaurus last summer. This approach allows us to question some of the long-held expectations about travel in the past and outlines a developing project aimed at unpacking the significance of movement across the Taurus and Anatolia more broadly.
\nN\u00e9h\u00e9mie Strupler is a Research Associate at Durham University. He earned his Ph.D. from the Universities of Strasbourg and M\u00fcnster, where he focused on publishing the archives of the Bo\u011fazk\u00f6y Expedition (1938\u20131970). His research employed open science principles and reproducible spatial analysis using R to reinterpret the development of the Lower City of \u1e2aattu\u0161a during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. Dr. Strupler has held research positions at ANAMED, the Walter Benjamin Kolleg, the University of Tartu, the French Institute for Anatolian Studies, the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, and Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin. His current projects explore Byzantine North Africa, Digital Archives as Cultural Heritage, and Network Dynamics during the Anatolian\u2013Old Assyrian period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
