At Warwick, she contributes to the 'Materiality of Greek festival culture of the Roman Imperial period' project, investigating how physical inscriptions shaped civic space through case studies from Roman Asia Minor and mainland Greece. Her methodology integrates textual analysis with material culture studies to reconstruct ancient social and political structures. Her publication record reveals a scholarly evolution from specific inscriptional studies toward broader cultural analyses, with significant contributions including her monograph 'Caria and Crete in Antiquity' (2017) and recent articles on processional roles, multilingualism, and epigraphic patterns across Anatolia. Her work consistently addresses how material evidence intersects with textual sources to illuminate ancient identity formation. Caria and Crete in Antiquity: cultural interaction between Anatolia and the Aegean (2017) 'Basket-bearers and gold-wearers: epigraphic insights into the material dimensions of processional roles' (2020) 'The Epigraphic Curve in Phrygia and its Borderlands' (2020) Fieldwork constitutes a major component of Dr. Carless Unwin's research program, particularly her long-term involvement with excavations at the sanctuary of Labraunda in southwestern Turkey. As the project epigrapher and co-director of the East Stoa documentation project, she has made significant contributions to understanding this important Carian sanctuary. Her collaborative work with Olivier Henry and others has produced notable findings, including the discovery of the Olympichos inscription which shed new light on third-century BC political dynamics in Caria.
