This project aims to integrate textual and archaeological evidence in order to trace the phenomena of continuity and changes in this phase of the history of the city of Oxyrhynchus.

In 2017 she became a senior member of the University of Urbino Mission in Cyrene (Libya). She has participated in many excavations dealing with research from Prehistoric to Medieval periods. Aside from her archaeological activities she has undertaken extensive studies of textual sources dealing for the most part with Greek and Coptic texts. She is currently studying different unedited written artefacts from museum collections around the world that were originally found in Oxyrhynchus during the earliest archaeological investigations. In 2018 she was awarded the “Traianos Gagos Fund for Papyrology” with the aim of studying the Oxyrhynchus papyri, mainly in Coptic language, that are preserved in the Papyrological collection of Michigan University.
