Biography

Dr Michael Given received his PhD in Cypriot archaeology from the University of Cambridge in 1992. He held research fellowships in Jerusalem, Nicosia and Glasgow, and is now Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Glasgow.

He has conducted archaeological survey and excavation in Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Scotland and Turkey. From 1995-98 he was Field Director of the Sydney Cyprus Survey Project and Survey Director of the Excavations at Kourion’s Amathus Gate Cemetery, Cyprus. He was Co-director of the Troodos Archaeological and Environmental Survey Project, Cyprus, from 2000-2014, and is Publication Coordinator of the Excavations at Kourion’s Amathous Gate Cemetery.

As well as working on the publication of the Kourion project, Michael Given is currently working on a wider project establishing the concept of conviviality as a tool for understanding the connectedness and interdependence of the human and non-human world; see lecture below and recent articles under 'Publications'.
