When he was four-years-old, Bill White decided he wanted to either be an astronaut or an archaeologist when he grew up. He decided to follow his dream career of doing archaeology as a teenager when he realized he was an inch too tall to fit into a NASA space suit. Since then, Bill has never looked back.
I excavate the prehistoric site of Mycenae and the classical sanctuary of Nemea, both in Greece. As a specialist in ceramics, I work with material culture and involve many students in my research, here and abroad. Currently I am working on the earliest manifestations of Greek religious ritual through permanent architectural establishments and recognized paraphernalia - such as figurines.
