Joanne Clarke

Joanne T. Clarke dug at Kalavasos-Kokkinoyia and then re-read the records of earlier digs at Kalavasos-Pamboules and Kalavasos-Tenta. Kiely describes her as a native of Australia whose work took her to the Levant, Cyprus and the UK, with doctoral study at Edinburgh under Edgar J. Peltenburg; he also names her as co-director, with Louise Steel, of the Gaza Research Project¹.

Her publications on Cyprus include "The Ceramic Neolithic Period in Northern Cyprus" (1992)² and, with Ian A. Todd, the field survey of Kalavasos-Pamboules, published in the Report of the Department of Antiquities, Cyprus for 1993³. In 2001 she argued in Levant that regional variation in painted decoration in Ceramic Neolithic Cyprus expressed group cohesion⁴. She excavated at Kalavasos-Kokkinoyia and Kalavasos-Pamboules in 2002 and 2003, reported in 2004⁵. With P. Croft and C. McCartney she also re-studied the 1940s excavations at Pamboules, which Porphyrios Dikaios had dug⁶. She edited On the Margins of Southwest Asia: Cyprus during the 6th to 4th Millennia BC (Oxbow, 2007)⁶.

With Alexander Wasse she published "Time out of joint" in Levant (2020), a critical re-assessment of the excavation record at Kalavasos-Tenta. They argued that Tenta was occupied continuously from the mid ninth to the mid seventh millennium cal. BC⁷. Kiely places her at the University of East Anglia in 2017¹.
