I have participated in and directed archaeological fieldwork in various regions of Greece, including Knossos. Most recently, I carried out geophysical survey in the Gypsades vicinity of Knossos. Since the mid-1980s, I have developed methodologies with which to combine archaeological and textual data in ways that go beyond simply matching textual references to the material world, leading to widely-accepted reconstructions of the organisation and history of the Late Bronze Age polities of Knossos and Pylos. Through multi-period regional studies fieldwork in various parts of Greece and my interest in combining archaeology and text, I developed research in later historical periods, including the Ottoman period in Messenia and the Venetian on the island of Kythera. I also maintain a research interest in the origins and development of writing and administrative systems, coediting volumes on that and related topics. Related research relates to the nature and meaning of objects in the Greek Bronze Age and the way in which iconography, oral performance and physical presence combine to present power in Late Bronze Age Pylos.
