About me
I am a senior lecturer in the Department of Archaeology and the Director of the History, Heritage and Society Laboratory at the University of Constantine 2 in Algeria. I am also currently a research associate at the National Centre for Prehistoric, Anthropological and Historical Research (CNRPAH) in Algiers. My research focuses on the material culture of the earliest Homo sapiens in Algeria and North Africa, and on the impact of environmental shifts on human behaviour. I am interested in developing interdisciplinary methodologies to overcome the challenges of archaeological field research in my country and the Arab region, where I aim to contribute to the preservation of archaeological sites, especially prehistoric remains.
Being an AGYA member is a superb opportunity to build partnerships with young scholars from Arab countries and Germany.
I appreciate interacting and learning with fellow members who are interested in paleo-environmental and cultural issues in prehistoric and heritage studies.
