Dr Amanda Kelly

Dr. Amanda Kelly holds a PhD from Trinity College Dublin for research on the Roman Aqueducts and Bathhouses of Crete. She has lectured widely on ancient and medieval archaeology, and was awarded a Fulbright in 2004 at Harvard University. Her research interests include hydraulic architecture (including aqueducts, bathhouses and mills), Roman art and architecture as political propaganda, epigraphic studies, Greek warfare and engineering, Greek athletics and concepts of beauty. Amanda has directed excavations in Ireland and Jordan and has contributed to work at Cretan sites as a Roman and Late Roman ceramic specialist. Recently, she has published research targeting Mediterranean trade with Ireland in the Early Medieval period, building on her identification of eastern Mediterranean ceramics discovered in stratified contexts in Ireland.
