"This experience allowed me to learn how to categorize ancient material, and how to understand archeological assemblages in our attempt to truly flesh out antiquity." 

Sean Peek (undergraduate student, Tulane University)

"Now on my second season with KLASP, I have continued developing “the skills necessary for ceramic analysis on a deeper level. Rather than just recording individual aspects of the pottery, I am now learning to use the assemblage as a whole to identify trends.” 

Kaarin Percy (PhD student, University of Virginia)

“As a graduate student studying archaeology, having the opportunity to work hands-on with material from Arthur Evans' excavations is an invaluable experience. It is impossible to learn the intricacies of working with ceramics in a university classroom devoid of pottery, but working at Knossos has allowed me to begin to understand the processes of studying ceramics. Working at the Stratigraphical Museum is exciting because it involves not only learning about Minoan pottery but also the history of the excavations at Knossos and the original excavators of the site.”
