Research Topic: Aegean Marine Style: Relational and Contextual Approaches to Stylistic Change and Ceramic Consumption
Jacob Engstrom is a PhD candidate specializing in Aegean Bronze Age archaeology at the University of Cincinnati. His dissertation project, “Marine Style: Relational and Contextual Approaches to Pottery Production, Stylistic Change, and Consumption in the Late Bronze Age Aegean” takes a cross-media approach to Marine Style pottery as an interregional case study in the dynamics of development, adoption, and change in pottery styles and ceramic production, distribution, and consumption practices. In addition to his dissertation, Jacob works on archaeological archives and the intellectual and political history of archaeology in the Aegean, among other research interests. Jacob has nearly ten years of archaeological fieldwork experience in Greece, including excavation supervision at Pylos, Eleon, and Olynthos and pottery study on Crete and Kea.
