About
My primary field of interest is - broadly speaking - the prehistoric archaeology of western Asia, especially the Levant. In the last couple of years I have focused on the study of Epipalaeolithic hunter-gatherer communities in Jordan, excavating a number of sites in the Azraq Basin.
I am particularly interested in the processes that led to the adoption of agriculture by human groups in the region. Other, related interests include lithic technology and the anthropology of technology, landscape archaeology and archaeological theory.
I direct the Det Frie Forsningsråd Kultur og Kummunikation funded project The Younger Dryas and the Origins of Agriculture (http://shubeika.ccrs.ku.dk), which is part of a wider collaborative research initiative the Epipalaeolithic Foragers in Azraq Project (http://www.human-evol.cam.ac.uk/efa/main.htm).
From 2009-2012 I was Deputy Director for Archaeology of the Qatar Islamic Archaeology and Heritage Project. I have been invlved in fieldwork projects in Germany, Wales, England, Turkey, Jordan, Syria and Qatar.
