Teaching Interests

Teaching Interests
I have created and taught a wide variety of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels at three universities since 1978: Aegean prehistory, classical Greek and Roman archaeology; archaeology of Egypt; archaeological principles, theory and method, and fieldwork; and origins of complex societies in Europe and the Near East. I have always been a strong advocate of undergraduate study abroad and have organized and taught programs for American students in five countries since 1976.

Biography

Biography

I am a classical archaeologist specializing in the prehistory of the eastern Mediterranean. My particular focus is on economics and trade relationships among the Bronze Age cultures of the Aegean and Near East. I have excavated and carried out other archaeological research in Europe and the Middle East since 1969. I have held national and international research fellowships and numerous grants since the 1970s.
