CARMEN TING COLLABORATOR (Ceramic Analysis)
ting Carmen Ting holds a Ph.D. in Archaeological Sciences from University College London, where she used methods of archaeological sciences, framed by the anthropological theory on the social dimension of ancient technologies to delineate the continuities and changes in the production of fine-ware pottery during the ‘Maya Collapse’ in Central America. Since then, she has been involved in various international projects, including the ERC-Synergy 1492 NEXUS project and the UCL Qatar-Sudan Archaeological Project. These projects have allowed her to continue to develop a multidisciplinary narration in the study of a wide range of archaeological materials that span over broad geographic and temporal contexts, such as the indigenous pottery at the times of the arrival of European colonisers in the Caribbean, and the technical ceramics used in the Meroitic iron production in ancient Sudan. More recently, she collaborates with ArtLandS Lab to initiate an investigation of the beginnings and development of glaze technology in medieval Cyprus, a project at UCY, funded by the Marie Skłodowska Curie Action.

Her postdoctoral research was conducted at the University of Haifa and the University of Lyon 2 Lumière under the auspices of the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. The title of her research project is: Tracing network patterns between Cyprus and the Levant during the Early Iron Age. She is specialised in ceramic studies and, in particular, in Cypriote and Levantine Iron Age pottery. Her research interests focus on ceramic typo-chronology, stylistic analyses, regional aspects of pottery production and on pottery technology, use, distribution and consumption. She has been a member of the Palaepaphos Urban Landscape Project of the University of Cyprus (directed by M. Iacovou), the Tel Dor Excavation Project of the University of Haifa (directed by A. Gilboa and I. Sharon), and of the Stirring Pots on Fire research project (directed by A. Vionis) of UCY. She is currently a Post-Doctoral Researcher at UCY.
