Research Topic: Mycenaean Habitation in the Athenian Agora and the Development of Attic Mycenaean Style Pottery from 1300–1100 BCE
Trevor Van Damme is currently Assistant Professor in the Archaeology and History of the Ancient Mediterranean in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on the study of ancient pottery and, in particular, how it can inform our understanding of ancient economies, the construction of social identities, technological exchange, and human migration. He is currently completing his first monograph, A New History of Early Athens, which re-interprets the archaeological record of Athens from the 12th to 7th centuries BCE drawing on the finds from the North Slope of the Athenian Acropolis excavated by members of the ASCSA in the 1930s under the direction of Oscar Broneer.
