Thesis Title: Textile Technologies & Cultural Interactions in Bronze Age Greece

About

I hold a BA and mag.art. degree in Prehistoric Archaeology, awarded by the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. My specialisation lies within the field of Textile Archaeology. The title of my Extended Research Master's thesis is "Die Spinnwirtel und Webgewichte der bronze- und eisenzeitlichen Siedlung von Kastanas - Zur Textilproduktion Nordgriechenlands im 2. vorchristlichen Jahrtausend" (i.e. the spindle whorls and loom weights of the Bronze and Iron Age settlement of Kastanas - textile industry in Northern Greece during the 2nd millennium BC). The thesis (incl. abstracts in English, Greek, German and Danish) can be read/downloaded by clicking on the adjoining link "Books" (to the left).

Currently I am based at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, being a beneficiary of a Marie Curie scholarship (PhD fellow) in the Initial Training Network programme "Forging Identities: The Mobility of Culture in Bronze Age Europe", financed by the European Commission’s FP7 People Programme (2009-2012). I work on my doctoral dissertation studying textile tools from Bronze Age Greece, i.e. technological and functional studies primarily carried out on spindle whorls and loom weights (a topical extension of my MA subject), deriving from a variety of settlements in primarily the Greek periphery of Central Macedonia. I compare my findings with analogical results from Central and Southern Greece.
