His dissertation research focuses on the pottery economy of the Late Bronze Age Tsaghkahovit Plain, using innovative material theory to interrogate the links between Late Bronze Age political institutions and the broader communities which inhabited the plain from the 16th through 12th centuries B.C. This work incorporates materials from the Tsaghkahovit Plain fortresses of Aragatsi-berd, Gegharot, Hnaberd, and Tsaghkahovit. Alan holds a masters degree in Anthropology from the University of Chicago and a double bachelors degree in Anthropology and Near Eastern Studies from the Johns Hopkins University.
