Two new PhDs have recently been awarded in the Centre for Islamic Archaeology. Dr Nathan Anderson successfully defended his thesis, “The Materiality of Islamisation as Observed in Archaeological Remains in the Mozambique Channel”, and Dr Alessandro Ghidoni his thesis, “The Ship Timbers from the Islamic Site of Al-Balid: A Case Study of Sewn-Plank Technology in the Indian Ocean”. Congratulations to them both.
