Postdoctoral Researcher
Mapping chaînes opératoires of quarrying, transporting and constructing, linked with the demographic responses to these in the Argive Plain over time, is part of the overall synthesis of this project. Because of Hanna’s expertise in spatial analysis and the social role of space in the landscape she was employed in SETinSTONE to contribute to the study of the physical and social links between construction sites and quarries, via roadways, and people’s mobility. Employing GIS and CAD, she was planning to carry out spatial analyses on the data of all subprojects. Together, we also envisioned using social networks software to visualize connections between locations of varying importance over time, and to provide insights in the social nodes and networks reflecting the changing aspects of land use in the specific contexts of monumental building.
Hanna joined the March-April 2017 field campaign in the Argolid and together we visited many interesting places and remains. We laid out a methodology for tracking already published points and places in the region which became refined in fieldwork periods from autumn 2017 until autumn 2019. Hanna was hugely fond of the region and experienced it during perhaps the most magic time of the year when the entire landscape burst into bloom. While walking, she recognized wild asparagus for our dinner and we collected tea and herbs for our home-cooked meals while we were there. She was a passionate scholar, a dear friend and a wonderful cook. We miss her a lot.
