My monograph on Levantine monumentality has now completed production and will soon be released. A presentation addressing monumentality in Assyria and its impact on the Levant entitled "The Joy of Propaganda: The Affective Potency of Ancient Near Eastern Courts" has been accepted for the 2023 annual meeting of the American Schools of Overseas Research. A chapter applying settlement scaling theory to monumentality entitled "Monumentality, community, public spaces and social agency in the Iron Age Levant" has been accepted for publication in the volume “Community and Representation: Collective Spaces, Monumentality and Political Agency in Pre-Modern States” to be published by Oxbow Books.
