Artemios Oikonomou currently holds a three-year post-doctoral research position at the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Center (STARC) of the Cyprus Institute; the focus of this position is the investigation of glass assemblages of Late Antiquity contexts in the south east Mediterranean, including Crete and Cyprus. Prior to this position he was awarded a Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowship at the University of Nottingham, where he was investigating the continuity and change in the emergence of the Hellenistic Glass industry in Greece. Overall, his research focuses on the application of state of the art scientific techniques on the study of ancient glass as a mean for: a. the reconstruction of ancient technological aspects, b. identification of changing technological practices through space and time, c. the provenance of ancient materials, d. the integration of scientific results with key archaeological questions. On top of his research focus on glass, he is also involved in various interdisciplinary archaeological projects,both as primary researcher and research associate,identifying technologies of other materials such as pottery and frescoes.
