The main research themes concern the study and the characterization of the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Syro-Mesopotamian area. In particular, the Early Dynastic period in Mesopotamia and the Middle Bronze Age in the Levant have been major research foci. Currently, critical revisions are under way for the Iron Age sculptures of the northern Levant (and of Karkemish, especially) and for the development of the historical landscape in Mesopotamia and of Bronze and Iron Ages societies therein.
