Alice Crowe

Alice Crowe (PhD, University of Cincinnati) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics, specializing in the archaeology of Greece in the Late Bronze Age (1600 – 1100 B.C.E.). Her research focuses on aspects of urbanism and its loss, memory, mortuary practice, collapse and transformation, and ceramic production and consumption. Her fieldwork and research centers especially on the site of Knossos; ongoing projects at the site include the publication of artefacts collected by an intensive surface survey of the Knossos valley (the Knossos Urban Landscape Project) and analysis of legacy material recovered by excavations, including those of Sir Arthur Evans.

She is also interested in networks of trade and exchange within and beyond the Aegean, a topic she is exploring through publication of Mycenaean pottery recovered from the site of Tell Atchana (Alalakh). She has participated in archaeological fieldwork across the Eastern Mediterranean, including in Greece, Albania, Turkey, and Cyprus. Her research has been supported by the Getty Research Institute, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA), and the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA).
