Elizabeth A. Murphy
Elizabeth A. Murphy is a Roman archaeologist. Her research investigates the social and economic organization of the Roman world; more specifically, her work focuses on the history and archaeology of labor, production, and technology, with complementary interests in socioeconomic inequality in the empire, ancient urban living, and the Roman military. Her fieldwork experience is extensive, as well as being chronologically and regionally diverse; it includes many years excavating Roman-period workshops and studying production contexts in the Potters’ Quarter of Sagalassos (southwest Turkey). She currently codirects the Landscape Archaeology of Southwest Sardinia project, a regional diachronic survey of modern Sulcis (Sardinia).
