Her research interests/publications span ceramic studies; art and religion; historiography and reception of Minoan Crete; digital approaches to archaeology. Significant publications include Ancient Goddesses (ed. with L. Goodison, 1998 British Museum Press) and The Archaeology of Spiritualities (ed. with K. Rountree, A.
