She received her BA and first MA from University College Dublin\, Ireland\, and an MA and PhD from University of Cincinnati. Her research focuses primarily on religion and death and how they connect with identity\, community\, and political economies. As well as giving tens of lectures both nationally and internationally\, she has published over 30 papers and five edited volumes on these and related topics and has one monograph in press and two other volumes underway. She has led two major research projects: one\, a legacy study\, on the tombs around Pylos in southwestern Greece and one\, an archaeological survey on the Greek island of Kea.

She is an archaeologist specializing in the Bronze Age Aegean\, with a focus on the social and economic organization of the Greek mainland. Her current research project explores the long-term history of settlement and land use in Messenia from the bottom-up\, integrating surface survey and excavation data with GIS-based analysis to highlight the dynamic character of peripheral communities before and during the rise of the Mycenaean palace at Pylos (ca. 3000 – 1100 BC). She also studies the technology and function of ground stone tools across several archaeological projects\, examining their roles in domestic and craft activities. \nThis event is organized by Professor David Schneller (UCLA) and Dr. Claire Lyons (Getty) and is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nCo-Sponsored by:\nUCLA College Division of Humanities\nPeter J. and Caroline B.
