Our work at The Open University UK is marked by a commitment to interdisciplinary activities, whether this be ‘reading’ images alongside literary texts, or applying anthropological and scientific approaches to the study of the classical past.
We are involved in several national and international collaborations, and organise excavations and conferences with a range of partner institutions.
