I am currently working with a local community in Greece to help them understand the significance of archaeological remains in their area and to use these to the benefit of their community. I have also worked with Girls, Inc. on developing and testing their program on archaeology for teenage girls, 'Girls Dig It!'

My research on the beginnings of ceramics could be relevant to portions of the ceramics/pottery industry. More generally, my work on archaeological outreach and community involvement offers many opportunities for industry to become involved in local communities and cultural heritage preservation and development.
I have just completed a volume in the Lerna, Greece, Excavation series on the ceramics from the earliest (Neolithic) levels (in press).
I am working, with Chip Colwell-Chathaphohn, on the revised edition of "Archaeological Ethics" for AltaMira Press.
