M. Stoll (Martijn) MA

My expertise lies in the field of Roman and Early Medieval painted plaster, with a specific focus on sanctuaries. By this, I refer to sanctuaries in the broadest sense, encompassing a range of buildings dedicated to deities in the polyreligious communities of the ancient world and the early Middle Ages. The core of my doctoral research centers on the study of the decors within the sanctuary of Briga, situated in Eu (France). This Gallo-Roman sanctuary has revealed plasterwork from diverse buildings and phases, spanning from the 1st to the 3rd century AD.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I also work as a material specialist in the field of Roman plasterwork. My skills encompass a spectrum of activities, from fieldwork to specialized reporting, including potential reconstructions of the decors.
