Matthew received a dual B.A. in both Classical Studies and English Literature from The College of New Jersey (2009), and a M.A. in Classics with an emphasis in Archaeology from the University of Arizona (2013). His thesis research focused on landscape archaeology and transportation in the Peloponnese, specifically through applications of GIS in reconstructing the logistics of pilgrimage during the late Classical period. Matthew’s survey and excavation experience throughout Greece has taken him to Athens (Athenian Agora), Arcadia (Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey Project), Boeotia (Eastern Boeotia Archaeological Project), and Thessaly (Koutroulou Magoula), as well as Albania (Vjosë River Valley Archaeological Project) and Montserrat (Survey and Landscape Archaeology on Montserrat). Matthew also has numerous years of professional and post-excavation experience; he managed the University of Arizona’s Archaeological Mapping Lab and worked throughout the Northeast in the Cultural Resource Management field as a GIS technician. In the classroom, he taught Greek History and Latin at The College of New Jersey. His current research interests involve approaches to survey and digital site documentation, as well as historical-ecological trends in land use, resource management and development, and mobility in alpine regions.
