- This monograph is the most important output of a 5-year ERC Starting Grant (2012-2017). Based on fieldwork in Syria (1997-2010), it is the first interdisciplinary study to explore the relationship between Syria and Georgia in Late Antiquity utilising textual sources and material culture to present as complete a picture as possible of cultural interactions between these two early Christian societies on the fringes of the Romano-Byzantine and Persian Empires. This research has reached both a research audience and a non-academic audience (http://architectureandasceticism.exeter.ac.uk) and has provided a foundation for subsequent GCRF and AHRC grants to help education in protracted crisis situations.
