Research interests:

Archaeology - Geographically and chronologically, the focus of his field of specialization is on Central Anatolia and the Caucasus during the Bronze Age (3000—1200 BC), a period where prehistory, protohistory, and history are intermingled. His research revolves around the long-term reorganization of human societies and their inter- action with the environment, transcending the cycle of rise and fall of the first kingdoms. Two of his primary interests include the relationship between urbanization and the organization of activities within cities, as well as the organization of the countryside. He regularly participates in fieldwork to explore thèse inter- connections and has ongoing research programs in Turkey. For several years, he has also been studying administrative tools (such as seals and their impressions, as well as fragments of cuneiform tablets) from an archaeological perspective. His focus is on the spatial contextualization of thèse artifacts to better understand their use and abandonnent.

Digital Humanities - Néhémie Strupler applies innovative digital approaches to studying and representing the past, and supports the transition towards Open Science in the arts and humanities. His research is based on quantitative and statistical methods for analyzing archaeological data, and tte is committed to making digital data available (open data), their long-term archiving, and ensuring the reproducibility of analyses (open science). His core strengths include statistics, digital mapping, digital history, open-access databases, and web technologies. At Freie Universität Berlin, he teaches digital humanities methods using archaeological data.
