C. Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests:

My primary interest is as a cultural historian of the ancient world, with an emphasis on social and cultural models of pre-modern economic behavior that are capable of accounting for individual agency within the framework of formal and informal institutions. More particular interests include the study ofancient pottery, underwater archaeology, naval architecture, economic theory (especially institutional and neo-institutional approaches), economic anthropology, and pedagogical approaches to the teaching of material culture. On a broad level, I am interested in finding new ways to combine archaeological data with historical analysis, the intersection between material and literary evidence, economic choice and decision making in the ancient world in an institutional context, and the ways that economic change can be understood as both a product and an agent of social change. My current project deals with the ways in which the economic sphere existed as a contested field in the Archaic period wherein landed elites faced challenges to their traditional primacy and formulated strategies in response to these challenges by previously marginalized segments of society leveraging newfound wealth derived from maritime trade, rather than land, to enhance their social standing.
