Overview

Jana Mokrišová is an archaeologist specialising in the material culture of western Anatolia and Greece from the Late Bronze Age to the Classical period. She is particularly interested in ancient mobility and connectivity, and their interplay with identity making and technological innovation. Her recent research develops regional approaches to land-based movement (as part of 'Migration and the Making of the Ancient Greek World Project' with Prof. Naoíse Mac Sweeney) and investigates issues of technological transfer with a particular focus on the role of iron (as part of ’Project Sideros: Early Iron Technology in the Aegean', with Dr. Marek Verčík and Dr. Ümit Güder, Charles University, Prague).  

Jana holds a PhD in Classical Art and Archaeology from the University of Michigan. Before moving to Brown, she was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Cambridge and taught at Birkbeck, University of London, and at the University of Sheffield. While Jana's primary field research is in western Türkiye, she was a part of excavation and survey projects in Greece, Italy, the Republic of Georgia, and Bulgaria.
