Fleming's research centers on Assyriology, Hebrew Bible interpretation, and the cultural dynamics of ancient Syria and Mesopotamia, with particular expertise in the Bronze Age city of Emar. His work examines intersections of religion, politics, and societal organization through textual analysis of cuneiform archives and biblical contexts. He investigates how ritual practices and collective governance shaped ancient Near Eastern societies, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches bridging archaeology, theology, and historical anthropology.
His publications reveal consistent focus on Bronze Age socio-political structures, analyzing Mari's early democratic experiments and Emar's cultic systems. The research demonstrates how ritual calendars and divination practices reinforced community cohesion, highlighting continuities between Mesopotamian and Levantine civilizations through comparative analysis of administrative and religious texts.
