Professor of Classical Archaeology
About
Lisa Nevett's particular interests are in the archaeology of the ancient Greek world, household archaeology and the use of theory in classical archaeology. Her research uses material culture as a source through which to address problems of social relationships, social structure and social change. To date, her work has focused on domestic architecture,, interpreting the construction, decoration and articulation of space within houses to shed light on issues such as the development of the Greek city, relationships between men and women within Greek and Roman households, and patterns of interaction between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples at the fringes of the Greek and Roman worlds. Most recently she has become interested in how the civic and religious spaces of classical Greek cities can be used to explore social relationships and issues of identity. She is co-director of the Olynthos Project, a multi-disciplinary archaeological field project focused on the Classical city of Olynthos in northern Greece, and she has been involved in other survey and excavation projects in Greece, Turkey, Libya and Britain.
