Lisa C. Nevett is a Professor of Classical Archaeology in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan, and Director of the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology. Prior to joining Michigan she was a Lecturer in Classical Studies at The Open University, 1996-2003 and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in the Archaeology Department at Durham University, 1993-1996. Education Nevett grew up in London, and first became interested in archaeology at the age of six, when her mother took her to visit the Treasures of Tutankhamun Exhibition at the British Museum in 1972. She graduated with her BA Honours in Classics at Clare College, Cambridge in 1987, followed by her MPhil in Archaeology (Archaeological Method and Theory, Later European Prehistory) in 1988. She obtained her PhD in 1993 from the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Professor Anthony Snodgrass. Her dissertation was titled "Variation in the Form and Use of Domestic Space in the Greek World in the Classical and early Hellenistic Periods". She was awarded a State Studentship for Postgraduate Study, 1987-1988 for her MPhil and Major State Studentship for Doctoral Research, 1988-1990 from the British Academy. She was a recipient of a University of Cambridge Allen Scholarship during her PhD. Career and research Nevett is a classical archaeologist who uses the material culture of the Greek and Roman worlds as a source for social history. Nevett has written extensively on households and the oikos in ancient Greece. Her research focuses largely on domestic architecture, and how the use of space within houses can reveal insights on broader social questions, and challenging traditional text-based ideas about household relationships. This includes the development of the Greek city, relationships between men and women within ancient Greek and Roman households, and interactions between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples at the frontiers of the Greek and Roman worlds. She has used the organisation of the house as a means of exploring wider problems such as the origins of the Greek drinking party (the symposium); the formation of the citizen state in Greece during the earlier first millennium, and the nature of the interactions between Greeks and Italians as the Roman world expanded eastwards towards the end of the first millennium BCE. Currently she co-directs excavations at the city of Olynthos, with Bettina Tsigarida (Ephorate of Antiquities of Pella), Zosia Archibald (University of Liverpool/British School at Athens).
