Research

Marie Martin’s research focuses, primarily, on the Iron Age Greek world. Topics of particular interest are: archaeologies of place and landscape, especially changing perceptions and re-interpretations of ruined constructions in landscapes; ancient textiles; and memory, myth and oral tradition in archaeological interpretation. She is currently preparing several articles for publication, which are drawn from her doctoral thesis entitled Dwelling Among Ruins: Landscapes in the Late 8th Century BC Argolic Plain, and is developing a research proposal to investigate attitudes to the built environment in the Argolid from the theoretical perspective of cultural biography.

In addition to teaching in the Department of Classics, she also contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the Department of Archaeology and has joint responsibility, with Mrs Linda Knox, for the provision of the Classical Civilisation option on the Access programme offered by the Department of Adult & Continuing Education (DACE).
