Current Research
- I am studying the Prehistoric remains from the Halasarna Survey Project and I am working towards publishing the corpus of the pottrey and lithics
- I explore the Prehistoric material from the Univerity of Athens excavation at Kardamaina
- I study the Archaic and Classical vases from Nottigham City Museum in order to publish the Greek and Cypriot collection
Past Research
- I have focused on the analysis of the South-eastern Aegean in the Prehistory with special interest on the Mycenaean Period (15th to 11th centuries BC). This was achieved by using different theoretical models such as island archaeology, migration and colonisation, landscape analysis and burial customs in order to understand the social, political and cultuic aspects of this region
Future Research
- I plan study and publish the Neolithic material from the German Insitutue of Athens collection with special emphasis on their fabric and their provenance for a better underastnding of the Neolithiv topography
- I would also like to produce a Gazeteer with all the Prehistoric sites in the Dodecanese and discuss the settlement pattern in this region diachronically, under the light of Island Archaeology, Landscape and the formation of Proto-urban societies
- I will participate in the Deikttes Project for applying advanced technology along with archaeology for educational reasons. This will achieved by new generation hand-held devices like mobile phones where cultural information regarding the local history and archeology will be provided through different media
