 Sarah Murray

Sarah C. Murray is Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Toronto. She holds a BA from Dartmouth University (2004) and a PhD from Stanford University (2013). Her research concerns the archaeology and economy of the Aegean Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. She has published two books, one on the post-Mycenaean economy and a second on the material dimensions of ritual nudity in the Aegean Early Iron Age, as well as articles on various topics related to Aegean prehistoric archeology or archaeological methods in journals including the Journal of Archaeological Research, American Journal of Archaeology, Journal of Field Archaeology, Hesperia, and Mouseion. She has almost twenty years of experience as a Mediterranean field archaeologist, and presently co-directs a survey based in Porto Rafti, Greece. Her current book project concerns the social meaning of metals and metallurgy in the Early Iron Age Aegean, and she is in the process of co-editing two collections of essays, one on violence and inequality in archaeological perspective and the other on the moral dimensions of studying the ancient economy.
