Rwy’n arbenigwr ar archaeoleg yr Aifft hynafol a Nwbia. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn defnyddio diwylliant materol i archwilio agweddau diwylliannol ehangach, er enghraifft, cysylltiadau trefedigaethol, canfyddiadau newidiol am y meirw, neu’r berthynas rhwng ffiniau diwylliannol materol a grwpiau cymdeithasol o fewn Dyffryn Nîl yn yr Aifft. Mae fy ymchwil yn pwyso ar brosiectau gwaith maes yn yr Aifft a’r Swdan. Rwy’n gyfarwyddwr cynorthwyol prosiect Mynwent Ganol Abydos Prifysgol Michigan Abydos, ac yn gyd-gyfarwyddwr i Laurel Bestock (Prifysgol Brown) ar Brosiect Archaeolegol Rhanbarthol Uronarti. Ffocws y gwaith olaf yw caer odidog y Deyrnas Ganol ar ynys Uronarti. Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at gynnwys myfyrwyr Prifysgol Abertawe yn y ddau brosiect yn y dyfodol.

Dilynais gyrsiau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig ym Mhrifysgol Macquarie yn Sydney, gan dderbyn gradd PhD yn 2008 am draethawd ymchwil a gwblhawyd fel gwestai ym Mhrifysgol Rydd Berlin. Cyn fy mhenodiad yn Abertawe, dysgais ym Mhrifysgol Sydney, Prifysgol Macquarie, Prifysgol Monash a Phrifysgol Fienna. Yn fwyaf diweddar, roeddwn yn ymchwilydd ôl-ddoethurol yn Academi Gwyddorau Awstria. Ar hyn o bryd rwy’n cwblhau monograff yn seiliedig ar yr ymchwil honno o’r enw Material Culture and Society: Abydos Assemblages from the Late Middle Kingdom until the Early New Kingdom. Rwyf hefyd yn yfed coffi.

CL-M09 Dissertation in Ancient History and or Classical Literature

Dissertation in Ancient History or an approved Classical subject.
CLD300 Classics, Ancient History, Egyptology Dissertation

Dissertation module for students doing single honours or joint honours degrees in Classics, Classical Civilisation, Ancient History or Egyptology. The aim is for students to do detailed research, to work on a project for several months and to produce a scholarly study of c. 8000-10000 words. The dissertation topic can be chosen freely, in consultation with a member of academic staff and subject to compatibility with a student's degree scheme and availability of supervisors and library material. This is a chance for students to pursue an area in which they are especially interested, and to deal with it in depth. Students may choose to do museum-based research. There are two preparatory pieces of assessment: an abstract, outline and bibliography, and an analysis of crucial source material and/or secondary literature. Work on the dissertation itself takes up most of the two semesters. Students are expected to do research independently, but there is a series of lectures in the first semester to provide advice on research and scholarly writing, Every student will be assigned a supervisor who will be organising group sessions with his/her supervisees and who will also be available for one-to-one supervision sessions.
CLE120 Introduction to Ancient Egyptian History, Society and Culture

From the late fourth millennium BCE Egypt was one of the greatest political and military powers in the Near East, forming the one of the earliest examples of a nation state in that region. Not only did it create an enormously successful and long-lived governmental system that lasted in some form down to the establishment of Christianity in the country, but it played a key role in the destinies of neighbouring communities, in particular those of the Upper Nile Valley to the south and Syria-Palestine to the north-east. In addition, Egypt became a complex urban civilisation whose literature, art, and religion continue to be admired today. The relative abundance of surviving data permits a vivid insight into the conceptual and material world of the ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley. This module thus focus on the political, social, and military history of Egypt from the Predynastic Period until the end of Dynasty 18 (circa 4400-1290 BCE) and introduces students to key aspects of Egyptian culture.
CLE214 Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology

The module forms an introduction to material culture studies based on examples from Egyptology, particularly objects from the University's Egypt Centre. It will explore the diversity of methodologies and debates concerning Egyptian archaeology. In doing so, it will introduce students to aspects of anthropological and archaeological theory, as well as the relationship between theory, field work, and the resulting interpretations.
CLE220 Egyptian Art and Architecture

The art and architecture of ancient Egypt is rich and complex, reflecting the culture and beliefs of those who created it. This module focuses on the general characteristics of Egyptian visual arts, and traces the changes in both form and function from the Predynastic to the Roman Period.
CLE350 The Archaeology of Ancient Nubia - Egypt's Neighbour in Africa

In ancient Egyptian ideology the inhabitants of the gold-rich lands to the south of the First Nile Cataract were barbarians predestined to be dominated by Pharaoh and a people from whom nothing could be learned. Unsurprisingly, the reality was quite different. Not only was Nubia the place of origin for complex state societies that at times rivalled those in Egypt, but Nubia and its diverse populations were to have profound long-term effects on Egyptian culture and society. The proposed module would examine these issues through a review of key episodes of Egyptian-Nubian engagement. The unit would also analyse how ways of thinking about these episodes have evolved from early 20th century racist approaches that considered north-eastern Africa a battleground between light-skinned and dark-skinned races, to post-processualism and the identity-driven research of today.
FY-018 History, Memory and the Creation of Identity

In most human societies, history and memory are important in the creation of identity. For example, consider how recent political debates often involve debates about the relevance of particular strands of history (such as `empire¿) to modern society. This module explores these relationships from the ancient societies of Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the modern world. It is designed to provide Foundation Year students intending to pursue degrees in Classical Studies, Ancient History, Ancient History & Egyptology, American Studies, Medieval Studies, or History with an opportunity to reflect critically on what the past means and how we go about studying it.
