Overview
Hello! I am an archaeologist whose research focuses on foodways in ancient Greece. My research touches on topics of urbanism, climate change, religious ritual, and everyday life. My current project, ZOOCRETE: The Zooarchaeology of Historical Crete: A Multiscalar Approach to Animals in Ancient Greece, combines archaeological, textual, and biomolecular evidence for the human management and consumption of animals. From animals herded in the landscape to large-scale sacrificial feasts, animals were a central component to the development and resilience of citizen-states during the first millennium BCE.
