Aegean and Mediterranean Archaeology
I became a member of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) in 2001, and I presented papers at all annual meetings ever since. I also was at the XV UISPP Congress, and probably will be at the forthcoming World Archaeological Congress, WAC-6 in Dublin.
I am the co-organiser of two sessions at WAC-6, please access the separate page for abstracts and further information. Prospective contributors may contact me.
I have also organised a session on exotica in the prehistoric Mediterranean at the thirteenth EAA meeting and I am editing a volume that will be published by Oxbow Books. More information is available on a separate page.
