Active Research
Since it opened, the lab has facilitated the independent research of over 150 scholars representing more than a dozen countries. In addition to their own research, Wiener Laboratory fellows and associates often provide education to members of the School and to the local and scientific communities through lectures, independent publications, consultations, and hands-on workshops.
Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory research project partnerships:
Phaleron Archaic/Classical- Period Cemetery analysis
A leader in archaeological scientific research, the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory was recently granted permission to study the cemetery at Phaleron (the old port of Athens). The cemetery is being excavated by Dr. Stella Chryssoulaki, Ephor of Piraeus and Western Attica, and is one of the most significant necropoleis in Attica during the Archaic Period. It was used for almost three centuries, from the late 8th to the early 5th century B.C. To date, over 1,500 burials have been recovered, including nearly 400 infant and child inhumations in jars. A team of top bioarchaeologists representing the Wiener Lab and the American School – led by Prof. Jane Buikstra of Arizona State University (a Trustee of the School and a member of the American Academy of Sciences) in collaboration with Dawnie Steadman, Director of the Forensics Laboratory of the University of Tennessee – will undertake managing the study and scientific analysis of the skeletal remains.
The scope and range of the burials are of unparalleled importance for the study of ancient Athens and its port of Phaleron in the Archaic Period. The potential that these burials provide for increasing our understanding of ancient Greek society is significant. Questions concerning ancient diet and disease, as well as social and political processes--such as the death penalty, political reforms, and legislation-- can potentially be answered. These answers could then lead to comparative studies that would eventually have global impact.
The Megalopolis Palaeoenvironmental Project
Following an ASCSA granted permit and its approval by the Ministry of Culture, a 5 years survey at Megalopolis basin (MEGAPAL), Peloponnese is being undertaken under Wiener Lab director Dr. Panagiotis Karkanas in collaboration with Prof. Katerina Harvati from Tubingen University and Dr. Eleni Panagopoulou from the Ministry of Culture. The aim of the project is to identify early Palaeolithic occupation in Greece. During a previous project a team from the Ephoreia of Palaeoanthropology-Speleology of the Ministry of Culture and the University of Tübingen, that also included several researchers working in the Lab, identified and studied the earliest radiometrically dated site in Greece, a ca. 0.5 million year old elephant butchering site at Megalopolis. The MEGAPAL project will explore target areas for assessing the potential for identifying both younger and older sites. The crucial time period > 500 ka BP, contemporary with the earliest hominin finds in Iberia and the UK, remains undocumented in our region. At the same time the project will provide a palaeoecological and chronological framework which will aid in interpreting the archaeological record of the area.
The Artemision of Amarynthos Project in Euboea
An agreement was signed in 2020 between the Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece and Dr. Panagiotis Karkanas on behalf of the Wiener Laboratory, ASCSA to undertake the geoarchaeological investigation of Amarynthos excavations. The Wiener Lab research team includes Dr. Myrsini Gkouma and MSc Dimitrios Roussos. The project is supported by a Niarchos Foundation fellowship.
Excavations by the Swiss School in the foothills of Paleoekklisies Hill south of Amarynthos, beginning in 2006, have brought to light massive foundations belonging to monumental buildings and revealed a persistent occupation of the area from the Mycenaean times up to the Medieval Era. In 2017 these buildings were securely identified as belonging to the sanctuary of Artemis Amarysia (Artemision). The geoarchaeological study of the site, undertaken by the Wiener Lab team, will use several scientific methods including archaeological soil micromorphology, geochemical, and mineralogical analyses. The primary aim of the project is to investigate the relation between natural and anthropogenic depositional events that have shaped the site. The objective is three-fold: reconstruct the spatial and temporal evolution of the stratigraphy of the site, identify possible periods of occupational hiatuses and their relationship with environmental changes, and help refine the chronological resolution in such tightly overlapping archaeological horizons. Moreover, the investigation may potentially provide additional evidence regarding the use of space and ritual practices as well as help elucidate on several architectural choices in relation to landscape changes.
Current Research Projects (Wiener Laboratory Fellows and Affiliated Researchers):
Dimitrios Filioglou, Zooarchaeology
Dr. Dimitris Filioglou (University of Groningen, the Netherlands) is the Wiener Laboratory Postdoctoral Fellow 2023-2026. Dr. Filioglou is a zooarchaeologist specialising in large- and medium-size fauna (domesticated and wild mammals) and his scientific interests focus on animal-human mobility and the scale of animal husbandry in past societies in Greece. During the 3-year fellowship, Dr. Filioglou will examine the faunal remains and conduct isotopic analysis on bovine teeth from a series of archaeological sites in northern (Limnohori II and III and Logkas Elatis), central (Proskynas and Mitrou), and southern (Varambas, Koropi, and Nea Makri) Greece spanning from the Late Neoltihic to the Early Bronze Age II Period. The transition from the Late and Final Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age is considered as a period of sociopolitical changes (e.g. transition from egalitarian to hierarchical societies) which occurred with different pace in different regions in Greece. The aim of this project is to identify changes or continuities between different periods and regions in animal management and scale of production and how these were related to the socioenvironmental context of each site. More specifically, this project will examine the degree of animal mobility and specialisation as a means to under the target of animal husbandry in each site.
Kyriaki Tsirtsi, Archaeobotany
Dr. Kyriaki Tsirtsi is the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory Post-Doctoral Research fellow for 2024-2027. She has extensive experience in archaeobotanical research, both in the field and in the laboratory. Over the past years she has been involved in various excavations in Greece and Cyprus. The principal objective of her current project entitled Environmental History, Foodways and Ritual Practices in the 1st millennium BCE Peloponnese is the understanding of the agricultural economies and the domestic and ritual activities of the 1st millennium BCE Peloponnese.
For this interdisciplinary project, Kyriaki will focus on the macro (seeds and other plant parts) and micro (starch granules) archaeobotanical assemblages from the sites of Corinth (ASCSA), Sikyon (University of Thessaly), Nikoleika (Greek Ministry of Culture) and Mt Lykaion (ASCSA). This project will offer a blueprint of the agricultural practices and culinary choices of these major urban centers through time. The project will also explore key archaeological questions on social resilience, economic sustainability and environmental reconstruction of urban centres as well as on plant use and deposition in ritual activities that developed during the 1st millennium BCE
Olivia O'Dwyer, Materials Science
Wiener Laboratory Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow, Ms. Olivia O'Dwyer from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, is working on the Mycenaean wall paintings from the Palace of Nestor, Pylos, with a particular focus on the palace’s earlier decorative schemes. She is interested in pigment production and processing, labour organisation, and regional variation.
Alice Clinch, Materials Science
Alice Clinch is the Wiener Laboratory Research Associate Fellow for 2024-25. She is currently completing her PhD in History of Art and Archaeology at Cornell University, on the use of pigments and painted wall plaster in Classical-Hellenistic domestic architecture. At the Wiener Laboratory, Alice will be working on her postdoctoral project, studying pigment and fresco assemblages from Sicily and the east Aegean.
Maria Liston, Human Skeletal Studies
Prof. Maria A. Liston (University of Waterloo, ON), is Wiener Laboratory Honorary Research Affiliate and Senior Associate Member of the ASCSA working on the Early Christian (5th-7th CE) cemeteries associated with the Sanctuary of Ismenion Apollo, Thebes. The cemeteries are associated with an early hospice or hospital, where large numbers of patients suffering from leprosy sought treatment. In addition there are individuals with cancers, congenital defects, traumatic injuries, and other infectious disease. Two mass graves hold victims of a catastrophic event, possibly plague. Pathogen DNA analysis will help to identify the diseases suffered by these peoples, while stable isotope analysis may identify whether these are local peoples or individuals that traveled to this site seeking healing.
Furthermore, Prof. Liston is studying the human remains from a well excavated in the Roman Gymnasium at Eretria (Swiss School of Archaeology in Greece excavations). The lower levels of the excavated well preserve huge quantities of animal bones, but also contain large quantities of infant and fetal remains in many ways similar to the Agora Bone Well (Liston, Rotroff and Snyder 2018), but several centuries later in date. The project provides an opportunity to retest some of the hypotheses about the Agora bone well, and to explore new questions due to the dramatic improvement in archaeological recovery techniques between 1932 and 2016. The identification of adult skeletons, buried near the top of the well, with skeletal symptoms of leprosy, will allow for a comparison with the material studied from the cemeteries associated with the Sanctuary of Ismenion Apollo, Thebes.
Eleni Nodarou, Geoarchaeology and Materials Science
Dr. Eleni Nodarou from INSTAP Study Center for Eastern Crete is participating in various archaeological projects involving analysis of Cretan pottery from the Neolithic to the Byzantine period. Her research focuses on the petrographic analysis of ceramics.
