Personal statement

I have two book-length projects that are nearing completion:  A monograph concerning economic decision making on a “large estate” in late antique Egypt and an edition of the bilingual (demotic-Greek) archive of Kabiris (a family archive from early Roman Thebes; with W. Clarysse and P. Heilporn).  At the moment, I am also editing volume six of The Tebtunis Papyri (texts and studies from the Berkeley Summer Seminar in Papyrology).
