Death in conversion? An osteo-archaeological analysis of
burial treatment in Roman and Early Byzantine
Anatolia.
My research focuses on funerary treatment in Roman and early
Byzantine Anatolia (1st-7th century CE). The main
aim is to investigate changes and continuity in burial treatment
and treatment of the body, especially in relation to important
societal changes such as the Roman influence and emergence of
Christianity. The central dataset is from the necropolis of ancient
Seleukeia Sidera (a project in cooperation with the Süleyman
Demirel University in Isparta). The study will be working from an
individual approach to a regional level by comparing the data from
Seleukeia Sidera to contemporaneous sites in central-west
Anatolia.
