During the Faculty of Humanities’ spring research celebration on April 14, Professor Elizabeth Greene received the Faculty of Humanities Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Activity. Drawing on archaeological fieldwork on shipwrecks, harbour sites and maritime landscapes from the Iron Age to the present in regions like Turkey and Sicily, Greene’s research traces long term processes of trade, cultural exchange, fishing traditions and the displacement of peoples. Department Chair, Professor Michael Carter noted, “Dr. Greene’s work has shifted both how we understand and model interaction on the ancient Mediterranean and, even more importantly, how we view, value and challenge ourselves and the broader global community through heritage in the present,” The HRI Research Symposium also featured a paper by second-year M.A. student Connor O’Rourke, “Containers of Connectivity: Pithoi and Exchange Networks in Bronze Age Gournia.”
