Dr. Kevin Fisher

Biography

I’m an anthropological archaeologist focused on the relationship between people and built environments, urbanism, and social dynamics in ancient cities, alongside the application of digital technologies for recording, analyzing, and visualizing archaeological phenomena. I received my PhD in Anthropology from the University of Toronto in 2007 and have held postdoctoral positions at Cornell University, the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University, and at the University of Arkansas within the Computational Research on the Ancient Near East (CRANE) Project. My research primarily centers on early complex societies in the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East, especially Cyprus, where I have been involved in multiple projects in Greece, Jordan, Peru, and Guatemala. I am currently the Co-director of the Kalavasos Maroni Built Environments (KAMBE) Project which investigates urban landscapes and social change during the Late Bronze Age Cyprus. I employ cutting-edge digital technologies such as geophysics, geoarchaeology, and 3D modeling to explore these themes and receive significant funding from notable institutions including the Social Sciences Humanities Research Council and the National Science Foundation. My works have been integral for students involved in archaeological field schools with a focus on collaboration and applied learning in the field.
