Research Interests My research is concerned with the following areas: The archaeology of the Bronze Age and early Iron Age Greece, with particular focus on the Ionian Islands and western Greece. I have directed a multi-disciplinary archaeological survey project (2003-2015) on the island of Kephalonia (Livatho Valley Survey) - a collaboration of the Irish Institute of Hellenic Studies at Athens and the Greek Archaeological Service. The project which was supported by the Institute for Aegean Prehistory (USA), the British Academy (2005) and UCD Seedfunding (2007) is being prepared for publication. I am also currently involved in the research and publication of the results of an excavation of a Late Bronze Age site on the island in collaboration with Greek Archaeological Service. As curator of the Classical Museum, UCD, I developed an interest in the history of 18th-19th collections of classical antiquities in Ireland (a project supported by the Heritage Council (2006) and have retained an interest in the subject.
