Rachele Pierini is a Guest Researcher at the SAXO-Institute within the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in interdisciplinary Bronze Age Aegean studies through linguistic and archaeological analysis of Linear A and Linear B scripts. Her work reconstructs socio-economic structures of Minoan and Mycenaean societies with methodological rigor across textual and material evidence.
Her research interests encompass Mycenaean studies, Aegean prehistory, ancient linguistics, and Bronze Age Mediterranean archaeology, with specific expertise in agricultural economies (particularly olive cultivation in Minoan palaces), body-part metaphors in Mycenaean Greek syntax, and textile production as socio-political indicators. She bridges epigraphy, paleobotany, and socio-anthropological theory to decode Bronze Age cultural practices.
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a cohesive interdisciplinary trajectory examining how Linear script data illuminates agricultural systems, linguistic cognition, and elite identity construction. As co-organizer of the MASt (Mycenaean and Ancient Studies) seminar series, she facilitates critical dialogue among early-career researchers and established scholars on Mycenaean-Western Anatolian connections, research methodologies, and intergenerational knowledge transfer in Aegean studies.
