About
Tim Power is the lecturer in Islamic archaeology at UCL Qatar. He was previously employed as a consultant to the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage, responsible for the excavation and publication of Islamic period sites in the al-Ain Oasis, awarded UNESCO world heritage status in 2011. He studied Islamic art and archaeology at the University of Oxford, and completed his doctorate on the Red Sea basin from Byzantium to the Caliphate (forthcoming March 2012 with AUC Press). He has worked on excavations in Egypt, Yemen and the UAE over the past ten years. His broader research interests focus on production and exchange in the pre-modern Dar al-Islam, particularly the trade of the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and Red Sea.
