Field Work

Ongoing field research conducted directly on the Giza Plateau, focused on structural observation, architectural analysis, and documentation of anomalies within complex archaeological contexts.

The work is based on direct, non-invasive observation and aims to identify architectural constraints, discontinuities, and contextual patterns often overlooked in conventional interpretations.

Research Statement


My research focuses on the archaeological and architectural analysis of the Giza Plateau, with particular attention to monumental and secondary structures within complex heritage landscapes. My work adopts a non-invasive, archaeology-centered methodological framework based on direct macroscopic observation, spatial and structural analysis, and critical comparison with established Egyptological documentation.

A central aspect of this research is the identification of architectural constraints, functional discontinuities, and contextual inconsistencies within monumental systems. The primary objective is to exclude interpretive models that are incompatible with observed architectural and spatial evidence, rather than to propose speculative reconstructions. This exclusion-based approach emphasizes methodological clarity, negative evidence, and explicit interpretive limits.

My publications address issues related to internal architectural logic, sealing and isolation systems, metrology, and contextual anomalies within Old Kingdom monumental complexes. All research outputs are published as open-access articles and preprints hosted on Zenodo and identified by persistent DOIs, ensuring transparency, citability, and long-term accessibility.
