The faculty is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Athena Tsingarida as the new Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art.
Athena Tsingarida’s research focuses on the archaeology and art of the Archaic and Classical Mediterranean World (8th – 4th centuries BC) with a special interest in social and economic aspects of craft production (especially Ancient Greek Pottery) and in cultural and economic interactions in the Mediterranean and the East. Her research also covers symposium practices, funerary archaeology, and the reception of Ancient Greek Art in Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries. She has co-directed several international research programmes in these fields, supported by national and European research funds.
Athena is currently Professor of Greek Art and Archaeology at the University of Brussels (ULB) and Director of the Belgian School at Athens. She will take up her post at Oxford on 1 October 2026
