Research interests:

My research interests include childhood in the Late Bronze Age in Mycenaean Greece (ca. 1700–1050 BCE). My specialization is the Linear B script, which was used for administrative purposes in Mycenaean palatial centers during this period. I also have experience in the study of Bronze Age pottery.
