Julia Maczuga is responsible for recording and deciphering pre-modern Arabic graffiti from al-Ula as part of the AIUIa Inscription Corpus Analysis Project. Her research primarily focuses on the origins of religious formulas found in Arabic graffiti dating from the seventh to the tenth centuries A.D. In her PhD thesis, she examines early Islamic Arabic graffiti from the Transjordan region. She analyses the spatial distribution of these religious graffiti to gain a deeper understanding of the process of Islamization among nomadic communities.
