Research interests
My research interests focus on Greek archaeology, specifically issues surrounding colonisation and social interaction at the margins of the ancient Greek world. More specifically, my work has explored territorial expansion and rural landscape in the Bosporan kingdom, on the north coast of the Black Sea, and traditions of monumental mounded burial in the Eurasian steppe. Other areas of interest include the Hellenistic east and the question of `hellenisation,´ landscape archaeology and funerary commemoration. I have done fieldwork in Italy, Greece, Ukraine and Russia, and my current field project, in southern Armenia, explores mortuary landscapes from a diachronic perspective.
I have been trained as a Classical Archaeologist, with degrees from Canadian, British and American institutions, and I teach primarily on the Classical and Historical Archaeology BA and the European Historical MA programmes. At the undergraduate level, I teach on the following modules: European Classical Civilisations, World Civilisations, Archaeology of the Graeco-Roman World, and Athens: Empire and the Classical Greek World. I am also involved on the teaching of the European Historical and Landscape MA programmes and the Osteology and Funerary Archaeology MSc. I would be happy to supervise research students on the following topics: Greek colonisation, Greek ethnicity and identity, the Hellenistic East, funerary commemoration in the Greek world, and the Black Sea in the Classical period.
