Adam Pažout

I am MSCA Fellow at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona with project ‘VIA-TARIQ: Analysing long-term change and persistency of the Roman road system in the Levant.’ My research interests are Roman and post-Roman roads, development of settlement structures, economic history, as well as landscape archaeology and digital methods in archaeological research in general (predominantly GIS and network science).
