Ulrike Krotscheck is an archaeologist of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds and teaches global archeology and heritage ethics at Evergreen. "I try to foster excitement and curiosity about the ancient world in my courses and programs".
"I believe that we can learn as much, or even more, about ourselves, as we can about the ancient world, through study of the material past of humans".
Professor Krotscheck's primary research focuses on the ancient Greek diaspora from southern France to the Black Sea, Greek ceramics, cross-cultural trade, and mortuary archaeology. Currently she is working on a project examining an ancient cemetery in Greece and her current book project is The West Cemetery at Isthmia: A Contextual Approach.
Ulrike shares, "For over 25 years, I have participated in archaeological fieldwork in France, Greece, and Turkey, at a variety of different archaeological sites, dating from the Neolithic to the Byzantine", she regularly teaches with "geologists, ecologists, philosophers, artists, and writers, making connections between the material culture of the ancient world and other disciplines, with the aim of demonstrating the inescapable interconnectedness of our world".
