Daniel B Sanders
Daniel Sanders is an archaeologist and historian, specialising in Europe, the Near East, and the Mediterranean world during Classical Antiquity, Late Antiquity, and the Middle Ages. His work focuses primarily on the socio-cultural, economic, and political realities of the greater Mediterranean world from c. 400 BCE to c.1000 CE, though he has been known to work from material both before and after these chronological bookends, ranging from the Levantine Bronze Age to the High Middle Ages. Thematic areas of particular interest to him include: imperialism, the formation and maintenance of states and other power structures, urbanism (inclusive of the rural-urban divide) and agrarianism, ethnicity, and identity. Additionally, he also focuses on the maritime world of the ancient and medieval Mediterranean, particularly in seafaring, seapower, maritime networks (trade and otherwise), and islands within the context of the greater Mediterranean world in Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
Geographic areas of particular interest include the Greater Mediterranean World (inclusive of regions such as Persia, India, and Central Asia to which the Mediterranean was connected by overland and sea routes) and the Levant, particularly the south, with a particular emphasis on the Carmel coast, the Upper and Lower Galilee, the Golan Heights (Bashan) and Jerusalem and its surrounding areas in all pre-modern periods. The British Isles in Roman, post-Roman, and the Early Middle Ages are also of interest. Outside of these, Daniel Sanders also has an interest in theoretical and scientific approaches to archaeology. These interests include landscape archaeology, historical geography, network theory, mapping, digital humanities and other computer applications to archaeology, as well as the use of GIS and other remote sensing systems in archaeological enquiry.
