He has published a series of articles and a book on archaeology, religion, and digital technology and has written on Taxila and Sanghol in India and on Sambor Prei Kuk in Cambodia. His turn to the colonial period in India emerged out of his first book, Archaeology and Religion in Early Northwest India: History, Theory, Practice (2015), where he explored British interpretations of archaeological evidence, which in turn led him to the Indo-Portuguese world.
