Eleni Hasaki

Eleni Hasaki is an Associate Professor at the School of Anthropology and Department of Religious Studies and Classics at the University of Arizona and the Director of the Laboratory for Traditional Technology. Her scholarship focuses on the craft technologies in Classical antiquity, the spatial organization of workshops, and craft apprenticeship, and experimental projects on ancient Greek ceramics. She has recently launched a Web Atlas of Ceramic Kilns in Ancient Greece, a searchable database for ceramic production sites in ancient Greece covering five millennia. During the CHS collaborative fellowship, Eleni Hasaki will work with Diane Cline to employ Social Network Analysis to better understand the connected world of potters and painters in Archaic and Classical Athens (6th-5th centuries B.C.). Hasaki’s research has been funded by major institutions, including the Archaeological Institute of America, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA), National Gallery of Art.
