Excavation at Kouphovouno (Greece), a focus of Chris Mee’s research over 15 years, has led us to ask new questions about the early farming communities of southern Greece.

The worlds they inhabited, house, village, land, territory, region and the beyond will be the themes touched upon in this reflection on Chris’s work.

This is the first annual lecture named in honour of Professor Christopher Mee, a leading expert in the archaeology of the Aegean Bronze age. Chris retired from is post as Charles W Jones Professor of Classical Archaeology in 2013, sadly passing away later that year.

Professor Cavanagh, based at the University of Nottingham, worked very closely with Chris throughout their long and distinguished careers in Aegean Bronze Age archaeology.
The Chris Mee scholarship is in memory of Professor Chris Mee and the considerable contribution he made throughout his career to classical archaeology. This scholarship supports our students at the University of Liverpool, enabling them to take part in activities such as participating in conferences, giving conference papers, going on field trips and working on excavations from which they will gain invaluable experience.
