| Michael Galaty received
his Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998. His interests include the archaeology
of Europe, the Balkans in particular, regional analysis, and
ceramic studies. His dissertation research-which addressed ceramic
manufacture and consumption in the Mycenaean state of Pylos-was
conducted in Greece with the Pylos
Regional Archaeological Project and was published as Nestor's
Wine Cups (British Archaeological Reports #766, 1999). In 2000,
Galaty edited Rethinking Mycenaean Palaces (UCLA), a volume
of papers regarding the organization and evolution of Mycenaean
state systems. In 2004, he edited Archaeology Under Dictatorship
(Springer), a volume of papers on the practice of archaeology
under various modern totalitarian Mediterranean governments.
Currently, he directs the Shala
Valley Project, an international, interdisciplinary effort
aimed at surveying a high-altitude, northern Albanian valley.
From 1998-2003 he helped direct The
Mallakastra Regional Archaeological Project in central Albania.
There, an international team of archaeologists surveyed the
hinterland of a Greek colony, Apollonia, which was founded in
the territory of the Illyrians in 588 BC. Galaty also directed
archaeological investigations at the Blue
Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship, a circa 1000-acre
property located in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Excavations
of a 19th-century home and Archaic Indian camp were conducted
at the multi-component "Mountain View" site. Mike
enjoys watching the Green
Bay Packers -- except when they get beat by the Saints.
Mike is also producing a documentary film on the travels of
Rose Wilder Lane (daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of
the Little House books) in northern Albania in the 1920s. |
