Brice Erickson, Professor of Classics, earned his Ph.D., from the University of Texas, in 2000 and taught at Dartmouth and DePauw before arriving at Santa Barbara in 2003. He is an archaeologist of ancient Greece specializing in Archaic and Classical (ca. 600-400 B.C.) ceramic sequences. Other interests include Greek sculpture, architecture, history, and topography. His first book, a study of post-Minoan Cretan archaeology and history, will be published by the American School of Classical Studies Press (Hesperia Supplement) in the coming year. Brice's next project takes him to central Greece to publish the Geometric-Hellenistic finds from Lerna, a village in the Argolid.
