Kim Shelton
Kim Shelton is a Professor in the Department of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies (DAGRS) at UC Berkeley and Director of the Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology. She is the author of several books and articles on her specialties in the political economy, religion, and ceramic industry of the Aegean Bronze Age. She is a “dirt archaeologist” who went on her first excavation at age nine and now directs three on-going projects in Greece, including Cal’s excavation at the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea, where she spends her summers doing research and training students. Kim spent 12 years in Greece working full time at the Bronze Age site of Mycenae and living in the small local village where she became fluent in the language and culture of the modern country as well as the ancient civilization.
