Author of the book&nbsp;<em>Aegean Bronze Age Art: Meaning in the Making</em>, Knappett&nbsp;is&nbsp;currently directing fieldwork at Palaikastro on the island of Crete in Greece, and also conducts research on pottery from a variety of other Aegean sites.</p> <p>“It is really invigorating to be recognized in this way, and to join such a cohort of scholars and artists,” said Knappett, who holds the Walter Graham/Homer Thompson Chair in Aegean Prehistory. “This fellowship will allow me to write my next book – on practices of containment. I will look at the fundamental role containers have played in humanity’s past, and how they continue to shape contemporary lifeways, in ways we often to choose to overlook or forget.”</p> <p>“Working at the intersection of art, history and archaeology, Professor Knappett’s work continues to reveal the richness and complexity of material culture in the Aegean Bronze Age,” said Professor&nbsp;<strong>Melanie Woodin</strong>, dean of the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science. “It is my honour to congratulate him on being named as a 2024 Guggenheim fellow.”</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">FAS</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 07 May 2024 14:18:20 +0000 rahul.kalvapalle 307805 at Iakoiehwáhtha Patton named a Rhodes Scholar /celebrates/iakoiehw-htha-patton-named-rhodes-scholar <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Iakoiehwáhtha Patton named a Rhodes Scholar</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/academic-achievement" hreflang="en">Academic Achievement</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>Christopher.Sorensen</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2022-11-18T17:12:55-05:00" title="Friday, November 18, 2022 - 17:12" class="datetime">Fri, 11/18/2022 - 17:12</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/students" hreflang="en">Students</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp;
