Specialist in Aegean Prehistory, tempered by much wider interests in Mediterranean and European prehistory and archaeology. His fieldwork has almost exclusively revolved around regional survey and landscape studies, which inevitably implies an interest in the archeology of many periods. He has special interests in the emergence of complex societies, in the archaeology of islands, in archaeological theory, in the archaeology of the southern Caucasus, and in Alexander the Great and (particularly) his Nachleben.
