Taskscapes in the Sacrificial Calendar of Thorikos
The sacrificial calendar of Thorikos, an Athenian coastal deme, has provided much insight into the local pantheon and sacrificial rhythms of this community. It is also just one example of the several sacrificial calendars that are extant in the epigraphic record from 4th century BCE Attica, which, given their financial nature, indicate a rising concern for the sacrificial economy.
Studying the Ceramics from an Open-Air Sanctuary at Anavlochos, East Crete; A New Environmental and Archaeological Survey in Eastern Attica (ARTEMIS)
I first travelled to Crete to complete my analysis of archaeological ceramics from an open-air sanctuary at the site of Anavlochos near the village of Vrachasi. This study took place in the apotheke (storage facility) of the Anavlochos Excavations between June 15 and July 8, 2025. I then travelled to Porto Rafti in Eastern Attica to begin work on a new archaeological project, ARTEMIS (Attica Regional IntegraTed Environmental and MaterIal Survey), which integrates pedestrian surface survey and environmental study of the East Attic landscape.
Pottery Analysis at Early Cycladic Dhaskalio
In March and April of 2019, with support of a Stahl award, I was able to spend 6 weeks with the Keros Seaways Project team. The project is presently studying and analyzing materials from recent excavations at the Early Cycladic site on the islet of Dhaskalio (image 1), off the coast of Keros, a large and presently uninhabited Cycladic island south of Naxos (image 2).
