Wonderful to contribute to a panel for the Greek-Australian Writers’ Festival, on The #Odyssey, its history & #archaeology. Especially privileged to share the stage with #Greek Consul General Alexandra Theodoropoulou, CEO of the SA Theatre Company Petra Kalive, and journalist Helen Vatsikopoulos

Looking forward to giving the Peter Sadler #Archaeology Lecture at the University of Kent this week, talking about our excavations at Falerii Novi 🏛️ 🏺 Thanks to Luke Lavan for the kind invitation to present before we head back into the field this summer.

Olives have been essential to life in Italy for far longer than we thought! In a new article for @theconversationnz.bsky.social, @emlynkd.bsky.social explores the history of olive cultivation and olive oil production from the Neolithic to the Roman period: https://bit.ly/3M5OSTs @ics.bsky.social

Olives have been essential to life in Italy for at least 6,000 years – far longer than we thought

New research suggests olive trees have been exploited for more than 6,000 years. The first Italian olive oil was produced perhaps 4,000 years ago.

Today we started teaching the first ever co-designed and taught joint MA module between the University of London (ICS/KCL) and British Museum (Greece & Rome)! The module provides hands-on experience in a real-world #museum environment, with half the classes taught behind the scenes at the BM. /1

The oileries at Syedra are fantastic (and v well preserved!) but to find urban/intramural oil production is not as unusual as this write up states. One only needs to look at the extensive data presented in our 2024 JUA article: doi.org/10.1484/J.JU... greekreporter.com/2025/12/30/a...

Ancient City of Syedra Hosted Over 100 Olive Oil Workshops, Excavations Reveal - GreekReporter.com

Archaeologists uncover over 100 olive oil workshops in ancient Syedra, revealing the city's major role in Mediterranean trade and daily life.
