Emilia Oddo is an Associate Professor of Greek Archaeology in the Department of Classical Studies at Tulane University. She holds a Ph.D. in Classics from the University of Cincinnati (2016), an M.A. in Classics from the University of Cincinnati (2010), and an M.A. from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium (2007). Her research focuses on the archaeology of Bronze Age Crete, particularly the Late Bronze Age (Neopalatial period), with a specialization in pottery styles and their social implications. She leads excavations at Knossos, analyzing pottery from Sir Arthur Evans’ early 20th-century excavations to understand ritual practices and architectural functions. In 2024, she will lead a student field trip through the Greek Islands organized by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Her publications include Knossos: The House of the Frescoes (2022) and South by Southeast: The History and Archaeology of Southeast Crete (2022), which explore Minoan social dynamics and regional identity. Her work highlights how pottery styles reflect communal identity and ritual behaviors. Recent research reinterprets Evans’ archival materials to reveal new insights into Knossos’ urban context and ritual spaces. Teaching courses like CLAS-2320 (Greek Religion) and CLAS-3170 (Greek Art and Archaeology), Oddo bridges academic scholarship and pedagogy. Her field projects emphasize interdisciplinary methods, such as ceramic regionalism and contextual analysis, to reconstruct Bronze Age Cretan society. She actively contributes to archaeological discourse through edited volumes and peer-reviewed articles.
