Settling Strategies

  I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Austrian Archaeological Institute, director of the excavations at the Amzabegovo Neolithic settlement, and coordinator of the associated “Birth of Europe” field school program. I am also an Assistant Professor in Prehistory at the Goce Delchev University in Shtip (N. Macedonia). My current focus is on the neolithization process between the Aegean and Central Europe – detecting and timing the discreet mechanisms behind the transition from a Mediterranean towards a Continental environment. In the past I have done research on Neolithic pottery, organic residue and past diet, as well as investigations on the Middle Palaeolithic of the South-Central Balkans.
