Her dissertation, titled “Settlements and Cemeteries of the Post-Palatial Peloponnese: the Mycenaeans in Context,” examines material and structural changes at the end of the Bronze Age, problematizes models of continuity and discontinuity into the Early Iron Age, and reevaluates historicist frameworks applied to prehistoric societies.
