Hannah Morris

I work in both Aboriginal and historical archaeology. Some of my recent projects include Parramatta Light Rail, Art Gallery of New South Wales—Sydney Modern Project, Hyde Park Barracks Renewal Project, and the Mount Gilead development in Campbelltown.

I’m primarily trained in Greek archaeology, and have worked on many overseas excavation and survey projects over the past decade. These most notably include the Early Bronze Age site of Dhaskalio on Keros with Cambridge University, and the Early Iron Age site of Zagora on Andros with the University of Sydney. I am currently in the process of writing a book chapter for the next instalment of the Keros publication.

My academic background is also in art theory, and I completed a Masters of Comparative Art and Archaeology at University College London where I analysed Pre-palatial to Neo-palatial period ivory, bone, and white paste artefacts from Crete.

Hannah’s Career Highlights
For the past four years, I’ve been excavating at Dhaskalio which is located on the island of Keros in the middle of the Greek Cyclades. Obsidian, used to make stone tools, was almost solely obtained from a nearby island called Milos. However, we found a number of pieces of obsidian that had been imported from Cappadocia in Turkey and the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. The connectivity of the Mediterranean in the Early Bronze Age is pretty amazing.
