Lidewijde de Jong is Associate Professor in archaeology and Rosalind Franklin Fellow at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Her research interests concentrate on the dynamics of ancient empires and identity formation in the Roman Near East, extending to the era of the Hellenistic-Seleucid kings and the period after Rome was replaced by Byzantine and Early Islamic rulers. Her current projects focus on legacy datasets from mortuary contexts in Roman Lebanon, Turkey, and Syria, to investigate mortuary rituals of the past and ongoing curation issues in the present.
