About the group
This research group serves as a focal point of transdisciplinary discussions and collegial support for the research, teaching and outreach activities on the ancient Mediterranean across the History and Archaeology sections of the Department, but it is also open to external members.
Our most prominent topics of common interest are the following:
- The relationship between archaeological and written sources in historical reconstructions
