Biografisk notat

Claudia Glatz is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Glasgow. Her research interests centre around the material production as well as resistance against early states and empires at both the landscape scale and through material culture. She is the author of numerous journal articles on the subject as well as the monograph The Making of Empire in Bronze Age Anatolia (CUP, 2020). She currently directs the Sirwan Regional Project in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which combines regional survey, excavations, and cultural heritage initiatives. A first monograph summarising this work was recently published (Sidestone Press 2024: Place, Encounter, and the Making of Communities) Mónica Palmero Fernández has a PhD in archaeology from the University of Reading. Between 2019 and 2022, she was Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Glasgow. She also served as Secretary of RASHID International between 2020 and 2025. Her research focuses on the interrelation between gender and the construction of power in antiquity, as well as the intersection of ethics, equitable research collaborations and the impacts of archaeology on society and the wider environment. She currently works at the University of Oxford in research strategy and policy. Amy Richardson is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Reading, developing integrated digital and scientific approaches to clay bureaucratic objects. After completing her PhD at Reading, she was CZAP Project Manager, Wainwright Fellow at the University of Oxford, and MENTICA Project Assistant Director. Her research integrates material science and network analysis to examine prehistoric communities. Michael Seymour is Associate Curator in the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He completed his PhD at University College London and worked at the British Museum in the Department of the Middle East before joining The Met in 2011. His research has focused on the later reception and representation of ancient Southwestern Asia, particularly the city of Babylon, the early history of archaeology in Iraq, and Mesopotamian art of the first millennium BCE and early centuries CE.

This book features a collection of papers produced in honour of Roger Matthews, Professor of Near Eastern Archaeology at the University of Reading. Roger previously taught at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology (2001–2010), before which he served as the Director of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq (BSAI, today BISI) in Baghdad and the British Institute at Ankara (BIA) in the 1980s and 1990s. The volume honours Roger’s legacy by assembling interdisciplinary research by his students, collaborators, and colleagues that maps challenges and new possibilities in the archaeology of Southwest Asia across the interrelated themes that have emerged from his work in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Türkiye.
