Brief description: Joanna S. Smith specializes in the art and archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Her research interests address how archaeological sources of information illuminate the ways in which artistic ideas were communicated among people, across time, and among culture areas. Smith's archaeological fieldwork centers on the island of Cyprus, but she has also worked on archaeological projects in England, France, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey. Currently, Smith is coordinating the publication of the Department of Art and Archaeologys excavations at Polis Chrysochous.
