Iro Mathioudaki Author

Carl Knappett is Professor of Aegean Prehistory at the University of Toronto. His research concerns the character and organisation of Bronze Age societies in the eastern Mediterranean, as revealed through patterns of pottery production, exchange, and use. His book Aegean Bronze Age Art: Meaning in the Making appeared in 2020. He is currently directing fieldwork at Palaikastro in eastern Crete. Colin Macdonald, as a former Knossos curator, has a long association with the archaeology of Crete. He has directed excavations at Knossos, published extensively with the British School at Athens, and written a general account of the archaeology of Knossos for the Folio Society (2005). Iro Mathioudaki’s research focuses on pottery from the New Palace period of Crete, examining its social and cultural context, production and consumption patterns and refining relative chronologies, including Knossian pottery sequences.
