Dr Claudia Sagona, MOM, FAHA, is an Honorary Principal Fellow in Archaeology in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies. Her archaeological fieldwork and research have taken her from the highlands of north-eastern Turkey and the Caucasus to the Maltese Archipelago and she has published widely concerning these regions. In Turkey, Claudia co-directed with Antonio Sagona, the North-East Anatolia Archaeological Project. She is currently co-directing the Georgian and Australian Investigations in Archaeology (G.A.I.A) now focused on the site of Rabati. In Malta, she was a member of the excavations of the Phoenician Punic temple site at Tas-Silg, conducted by the University of Malta, and has carried out substantial research on the extensive Phoenician-Punic burial sites in the islands. Her interest in Malta’s rich archaeological record has culminated in a comprehensive book, The Archaeology of Malta: From the Neolithic through the Roman Period (Cambridge University Press). In recognition of her contribution to Malta, she was made an honorary member of the National Order of Merit of Malta in 2007.
