Volcanologist Floyd McCoy from the University of Hawaii reflects on a busy year as Visiting Research Professor in the Wiener Laboratory, leading a student trip to Santorini, exploring new ideas with colleagues, and writing (when time permitted).
Research
Researchers funded by the Wiener Laboratory come from a range of different institutions and specialties. The laboratory’s collegial atmosphere and excellent facilities provide a productive forum for research and debate. While a number of the scholars working at the benches are connected with the School’s own or affiliated projects, the Wiener Laboratory is also an important resource for members of the Greek archaeological services and other post-graduate scientists of all nations.
Current and recent research is being conducted in four main areas:
Biological Anthropology
Zooarchaeology
Geoarchaeology and Metallurgy
Environmental Studies
