Evangelia Kiriatzi (Fitch Lab Director, BSA) & Maria Duggan (BA PDF, Newcastle & BSA), “The British School at Athens and the work of the Fitch Laboratory: linking Britain and the Mediterranean”
Dr Evangelia Kiriatzi will first provide an overview of the history and operation of the British School at Athens and its role in promoting and facilitating multi-disciplinary research collaborations between Britain and Greece. Dr Kiriatzi will also present the work of the Fitch Laboratory as a leading hub for science-based archaeology and a centre for multiscale analysis of Mediterranean ceramic landscapes. As a case study, Dr Maria Duggan will briefly introduce her British Academy Postdoctoral project on post-Roman pottery found at Tintagel in Cornwall and its Mediterranean connections, which will benefit from a collaboration with the BSA and a period of research at the Fitch.
