Andrew Harvin is a Ph.D. Candidate in the History of Art at Johns Hopkins University, specializing in the art of Western Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. His dissertation, tentatively titled “Cunningly Wrought: Towards a Connected History of Iron Age Art,” demonstrates the ways in which objects acquired meaning through the relational networks of people, materials, ideas, and institutions that linked the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. Andrew has participated in excavations at the Bronze Age site of Iklaina, in the Western Peloponnese, and the Iron Age site of Lyktos, on Crete.
