Research

I have worked with late Hellenistic and Roman pottery (fine and coarse wares) from excavations at Corinth in Greece (Hesperia 1980, 1986 and 1994, Corinth XVIII, ii) and at Tel Anafa in Israel; I have also published pottery from survey and excavations at Mirobriga in Portugal and Arikamedu in India. My current project is to describe quantitatively and publish a large body of Roman pottery from the 1980s excavations east of the Theater at Corinth.
