While I primarily work in the United States currently, I have done work in the Near East, and would like to do more. My focus is on Old Kingdom Egypt, but span up to the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period. Always interested in what other colleagues are doing in this region.
My influence was Petrie, closely followed by Leonard Wooley.

It may seems incredibly childish, but I want to study the Near-East because all of the professors who have been teaching me anything concerning this area were just geniuses. They really made me want to work on it. It's that simple ^^
Good luck on your researches on Israel - may I ask in return why you're interested in this country ?

I was just curious why you chose to focus on archaeology of the near east as you major focus in your career while there are so many other places out there? Was it a hard choice? I'm really trying to learn a little bit about the history of places like Israel so I thought I'd ask you why you decided to learn about it. Thanks. :)
