• SSHRC Awarded IDG 2019: This IDG project aims at developing an inclusive approach to landscape by studying it through the lens of 'biography' and using cutting­ edge methods of archaeological prospection. I have selected a test area of 600 hectares of forested countryside in Achaia Phthiotis, a boundary region between three provinces in Central Greece, which harbours a wealth of unexplored archaeological data, such as tombs, fountain houses and settlements. Using a multi­scalar perspective, I plan to map, survey and analyze this perceived 'marginal' area to find patterns of connectivity, continuity and discontinuity in human ­landscape interaction in this region’s wider history of the longue durée.
