Silvia Amicone - Honorary Research Fellow

IoA Involvement:

In early 2017 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the IoA Ceramic Technology Research Network and Competence Center Archaeometry Baden-Wuerttemberg (CCA-BW) at the University of Tübingen where Silvia is based. This MoU has been signed to encourage academic co-operation through research and teaching in the field of scientific archaeological ceramic analysis. Collaborative research projects as well as exchanges between the Institute of Archaeology and Tübingen's CCA-BW researchers for training programs are on-going. Silvia is a key link in this cooperative endeavor and her presence in Tübingen has facilitated the visits and supervision of master and PhD students as part of their research. Silvia is currently involved in the supervision of students of the MSc in Archaeological Science: Technology and Materials at the IoA. She is also co-supervisor together with Bill Sillar and Patrick Quinn for a PhD student.
