Scholar and expedition member, active 1976–1987. Worked at Lemba-Lakkous and Kissonerga-Mosphilia. Worked with Edgar J. Peltenburg.

Life and work

  1. 1979
    Analysed the chipped stone from building B 7 at Lemba-Lakkous (Peltenburg's mission) and found an obsidian blade, which with two others from nearby sites suggested a renewed, previously unknown interest in obsidian in the 4th millennium.
