Archaeological Projects

 

Archaeology is a major component of my teaching and research, and I am associated with several projects in Greece and Cyprus: The Ohio State University Excavations at Isthmia, the Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey, and the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project.  I have participated in the American School Excavations at Corinth and the Australian-Paliochora Kythera Survey.  My ongoing research includes:  

 

The Eastern Korinthia Archaeological Survey, an interdisciplinary surface survey of the Isthmian territory of Corinth, Greece, carried out between 1998 and 2003.  This project is currently in publication stage, and recent papers have appeared in the journals Antiquity (2005), Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology (2006), and Hesperia (2006 & forthcoming).  We continue to analyze the data produced by this survey.  Research plans for 2008 include 1) a restudy of the abandoned early modern settlement of Lakka Skoutara in the southeast Corinthia and 2) an investigation of an Archaic-period farmstead.

 

 

 

The Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project is a regional survey of a coastal territory east of Larnaca, Cyprus.  As of 2007, we have completed documenting a significant Late Roman coastal site (Koutsopetria) as well as a Late Bronze Age site (Kokkinokremos).  We are currently analyzing the archaeological data and preparing a final publication.  We have reported on the survey in Report of the Department of Antiquities, Cyprus (2005, 2007), the CAARI Workshop (2004-2007), and at recent ASOR and AIA annual conferences.   To explore the site of Koutsopetria, visit our digital interface on-line.
