About
Jason’s research is in the field of South Asian archaeology, including that of modern day Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. His interests concentrate on the relationships between religion and society, cultural interaction, and the development of urbanism during the early historic and medieval periods. His work involves a number of new methodologies, combining the examination of material culture with various types of evidence that tend not to be examined archaeologically in South Asia. Namely: geographical data, historical texts, and architectural and sculptural remains.
Currently, Jason is primarily working in West India as part of the Entrepôt project (lead by Dr Søren Sindbæk). Here he is attempting to develop an archaeological understanding of urbanism and international trade in India during the early medieval period by examining artefact assemblages from towns and ports along the west coast, and exploring their connections with Arabia and East Africa.
