Biography
Lloyd Weeks, BA(Hons), PhD, is a Professor of Archaeology. He studies the late prehistoric societies of Iran and the Arabian Peninsula from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. His research involves multi-disciplinary, collaborative approaches incorporating field survey, excavation, archaeometric studies, and palaeo-environmental reconstructions to understand past human adaptation and resilience. Lloyd is particularly interested in the development of metal production and exchange systems in the ancient Near East, a region that was one of the heartlands of early metal technology.
