Nationality: German

--------------------------------------

Dominik Bonatz is full professor for Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology at the Freie Universität Berlin since 2003. He earned its PhD from the same university in 1998. His doctoral research on Iron Age funerary monuments in the Syrian-Anatolian region laid the foundations for his key interest in the study of ancient Near Eastern visual arts with a focus on the anthropology, performance and perception of images. A special approach lies in the investigation of style phenomena that manifest themselves not only in art objects but generally in artifacts of material culture, including architecture. The style of individuals or communities is seen as a product of cognitive processes that are expressed in how one does or designs something. Thus also a process of agency and alienation of identity that is evident in the material remains

Dominik Bonatz has conducted archaeological fieldwork in Syria (Tell Fekheriye) and Lebanon (Beqa’a and Anti-Lebanon). Currently he is heading archaeological research projects in Jordan (Tell Ushayer) and on Sumatra in Indonesia.
