Hamilakis, Yannis

Field of Study: Greek Archaeology, Classical Reception

Research Description: Yannis Hamilakis is examining the social biographies of primarily classical archaeological monuments, artifacts, and sites in Greece and the broader eastern Mediterranean, from the early modern period to the present. He is focusing on local, vernacular attitudes, discourses, and practices and their clash with and eventual transformation by national, modernist archaeology, and more recent globalized processes.
