    Project title Networks of the dead. Mortuary practices, social interactions, and
    the making of collective identities in Early and Middle Bronze Age
    Crete
    NCN programme SONATA BIS-15
    Project Description NetworksOfTheDead harnesses the rich mortuary record of
    Prepalatial and Protopalatial Crete (3100-1700 BC) to reconstruct
    social networks before, during, and after the construction of the First
    Minoan Palaces. The project leverages the potential of Social
    Network Analysis to infer interactions among burial communities
    based on data drawn from existing literature, hands-on reference
    collections, and ongoing archaeological projects. Three
    complementary types of evidence are investigated: remains of
    mortuary activity, material culture (seals, pottery, petrographic data),
    and burial site locations. By integrating these three types of evidence,
    NetworksOfTheDead aims to reconstruct multi-layered networks of
    intercommunity interaction and explore how collective identities
    were negotiated across multiple scales, so as to shed light on the
    dynamics that drove social change.
    Key responsibilities
    include

    • Contribution to bibliographic review, the development of the
      project website, the conceptualisation of the project database, and
      the data management plan.

      community interaction and reconstruction of pottery-based material

      networks reconstructed from different types of archaeological
      evidence.
    • Communication and dissemination of results through conference
      presentations and publications.
