Research:

A specialist in the archaeology, art, and cultural history of Archaic Greece, Professor Greene has directed research projects throughout the Mediterranean: including Turkey, Cyprus, and Albania. She is responsible for the publication of the shipwreck at Pabuç Burnu, a sixth-century BCE merchant vessel excavated off the Turkish coast. Currently she is undertaking a survey of Archaic and early Classical shipwrecks and harbor sites in Turkey (a SSHRC-funded project) including research on a seventh-century BCE shipwreck at Kekova Adası and an early harbor at Burgaz, the site associated with the Knidians before their move to the tip of the Datça peninsula. Her research considers the ancient economy, maritime archaeology, archaeological ethics and heritage management, and intersections between the worlds of art and archaeology, literature, and history. Students with interests in these and related fields are encouraged to consider the Department of Classics at Brock.
