S. Rebecca Martin is an Associate Professor of Greek Art and Archaeology at Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on Greek and Phoenician art history, with a particular emphasis on cross-cultural exchange and material culture studies. She co-directs the Tel Dor excavations in Israel, exploring topics such as domestic practices, urban development, and maritime interaction.
Prof. Martin holds a B.A. from Smith College and a Ph.D. in Archaeology from the University of California, Berkeley. Her publications include The Art of Contact: Comparative Approaches to Greek and Phoenician Art (2017) and a co-edited volume on incomplete ancient objects (The Tiny and the Fragmented, 2018). Current projects include a book on the origins of the Greek herm and ongoing analysis of Tel Dor's archaeological layers.
Her research interests span Hellenistic-Roman domestic architecture, Persian period urbanism, and theoretical frameworks for understanding fragmented or miniature artifacts. She has published extensively on Phoenician-Greek cultural interactions, Persian period reoccupation strategies, and the socio-political dynamics of ancient Mediterranean cities.
Prof. Martin's work integrates field excavation data with interdisciplinary theoretical approaches, emphasizing how material culture reveals broader cultural, economic, and religious patterns. She regularly publishes excavation reports from Tel Dor and contributes to debates on methodological frameworks in archaeology.
