Archaeologist of Greece | Landscape Archaeologist | Material Culture Specialist

This is my Old Website. My new one for 2007 is located at: http://proteus.brown.edu/witmore/Home [link]

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University. I am also a founding member and former the Assistant Director of the Metamedia Laboratory at Stanford.

I am primarily interested in landscape archaeology, archaeological thinking, material culture, new media in archaeology, the history of archaeology, and field practices.

My research areas include the Mediterranean in general and the Argolid and Crete, Greece as well as Sicily, Italy more specifically.

I completed my PhD in Classical Archaeology at Stanford University (September 2005).
