Well, this blew up...!! I honestly thought it would just bounce around my friends and announce I'd finally handed in, I'm so delighted by all the interest!!

I don't think I can/should share the actual thesis at this stage but I promise to share further news when I have it 😃😃

@uzunsimsekersin Don't apologise, it's such a wonderful piece it's difficult to summarise!!

[Dr Alice Parkin @aliceeparkin]

One of my absolute favourite pieces from my thesis. It was also found in Meroe, Sudan, the furthest south any piece of Greek pottery has been discovered (from what I could tell!).

@JennyENicholson Your research/detective/synthesisation skills in this project have been absolutely incredible and I am LIVING for all the details you're exploring (and exposing!)

[Dr Alice Parkin @aliceeparkin]

So sad to hear this. He was an absolute titan of the field. He leaves behind an unspeakably important legacy in the study of ancient Greek archaeology, and his work will undeniably shape the understanding of students and scholars for decades to come.
