Background

Interests

I am interested in all aspects of the ancient world and world archaeology. My major specific interests are 1) the archaeology of Late Bronze Age Greece, the Aegean, and the eastern Mediterranean, and the transition to the Early Iron Age, 2) the archaeology, historiography, and discourses of collapse and resilience (including climate and the environment), 3) women in ancient history, 4) historiography, narratives, and counternarratives.
