Welcome.
Welcome to the web page of Ulrike Krotscheck. I am a PhD candidate in Classics at Stanford University, with a concentration in Classical Archaeology. My academic advisors are Professors Ian Morris, Ian Hodder, and Walter Scheidel (Stanford University) and Professor Michael Dietler (University of Chicago). The working title of my dissertation is Scale, Structure, and Organization of Archaic Maritime Trade in the Western Mediterranean: the "Pointe Lequin 1A". In it, I examine production, consumption, and maritime distribution of ceramics in the western Mediterranean.
I have recently accepted a faculty position in Classical Studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, beginning September 2008. Until then, I will be on a postdoctoral fellowship at the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin.
My undergraduate work was completed at Mount Holyoke College (http://www.mtholyoke.edu/), class of 1997 (cum laude), with a major in Art History. I got my Master's Degree at the University of Heidelberg in 2001. My thesis (Myceneaen Contacts in the Mediterranean: A Comparison of Selected Sites) dealt with Bronze Age trade and exchange in the Mediterranean. It was written under the supervision of Professor W.-D. Niemeier (Director, German Archaeological Insistitute (DAI), Athens).
Archaeological field projects I have participated in include the excavation at Lattes in Southern France, 2005; Çatalhöyük (2002-2005); Miletus (1999-2002); Phlius Valley Survey, Greece (1999); and the Ohio State excavations at Isthmia, Greece (1996, 1997). For more details on these projects, please see my CV.
I am a member of the Women’s Classical Caucus, also of the Archaeological Institute of America, and I am an active member of their Student Affairs Interest Group.
