Tracing Prehistoric Social Networks through Technology: A Diachronic Perspective on the Aegean (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780415896160)

Ann Brysbaert holds an MA and PhD in Archaeology, and a BSc (Hons) in Archaeological Conservation. She has conducted fieldwork in Greece, U.K., Italy, Belgium, Turkey, Syria, Israel, and Egypt both as archaeologist and as archaeological conservator. She currently holds an Alexander von Humboldt Senior Fellowship at the University of Heidelberg, Institut für Ur-und Frühgeschichte und Vorderasiatische Archäologie.

Together with colleagues from Leicester, Glasgow and Exeter she received a 5-year research grant from the Leverhulme Trust for an innovating interdisciplinary project called 'Tracing Networks in the Ancient Mediterranean and Beyond'. She is especially interested in looking at ancient technologies and materials from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining archaeometric work with social theoretical approaches. She regularly publishes on the theme of painted plaster, cross-craft interaction and craft specialisation, and material culture.
