Hello! My name is Nicholas and my PhD investigates
the ritual function of sarcophagi of Roman-period Phoenicia (Lebanon). This means
examining how the shape, material, iconography, and inscriptions of the sarcophagi
represented the dead, consoled mourners, and shaped ritual practice.

His project studies instances of well preserved funerary material found in Roman Pisidia and Lebanon. Using a wide array of evidence including grave good assemblages, tomb architecture, and bodily positions, the thesis attempts to capture the range of activities that took place in and around tombs.
