Research
My research aims to explore the potential of network science for the archaeological discipline. In my review work I confront the use of network methods in the archaeological discipline with their use in other disciplines, especially sociology, computer science, and physics. In my archaeological work I aim to apply and develop network science techniques that show particular potential for archaeology. This is done through a number of archaeological case-studies: archaeological citation networks, visibility networks in Iron Age and Roman southern Spain, and tableware distribution in the Roman Eastern Mediterranean. As a member of the HERA CARIB project I explore the use of visibility analysis techniques for Caribbean archaeology.
