I am a postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh, doing my PhD on ceramics and social change in mid second millenium BCE Cyprus. Specifically, I'm looking at the MCIII-LCIIA ceramics from Dikaios' Enkomi excavations.

I'm studying the introduction of the fast potter's wheel on Cyprus as it relates to other aspects of increasing social complexity and urbanisation. I'm examining the wares that exist as handmade and wheelmade forms (Red/Black Slip, White Painted, Bichrome, Plain White) in order to examine the development of technological and stylistic sequences and identify processes of adoption of new technologies. I'm about to go out to Cyprus for 4 months to undertake the majority of my analysis.
