Although my research focuses on the archaeology of the Bronze Age Aegean, my interests and experience cover a wide range of places and time periods, from the Classical world to the ancient Near East, prehistoric Europe to historical North America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586697551693-UL0PD025SD2CQ42WH0YQ/Museum.JPG Home - Art History Think about it: All art has been contemporary.* No matter how old an object or art piece might be, at one point in time, it was intentionally made to reflect a person’s opinion, belief, idea, or creative expression. Art is connection between people. By studying that art we can feel that connection and grasp the creative forces that bind us. * “All Art Has Been Contemporary,” neon work by Maurizio Nannucci in the Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst in Munich (right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1588737087063-66WTLDFYF6FYMVNNEHJB/P6011326.JPG Home - Contact dewan.rachel@gmail.com Department of Art History University of Toronto, Canada Academia.edu ResearchGate Twitter LinkedIn https://www.racheldewan.com/archaeologist daily 0.75 2021-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586698191610-QPXHH0I09958IT5QE3GT/PK+4.JPG Archaeologist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586835986877-YOJZ3NY47MPYL8W3QLVY/Gournia.jpg Archaeologist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1588855496822-J3WAAB6DLP2MZFMCLB96/Mochlos.JPG Archaeologist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1587346479651-BACJ6HU8FQLC4NSNB7W1/IMG_7318.JPG Archaeologist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586836167380-WO6ZB96792HH2M656XH9/P6300026.JPG Archaeologist https://www.racheldewan.com/educator daily 0.75 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586834132419-48CT5FCJSWND8OPTGWBS/ROM.PNG Educator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1589140868769-WPXSDVUNX5GVHKM97JVU/GUStA.jpg Educator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/60330786-e00c-4adb-aa0a-0992087cc16b/logo.png Educator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1588897676088-VU2RLPTCV907CJO81582/KHAP%2B1.jpg Educator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1586834179110-UAWVLGOAZIHF2390V6JQ/Annual+Meeting+1.jpg Educator https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1587853090663-J1EDLA5HI765N0PPD7Q0/Skype+a+Scientist.jpg Educator https://www.racheldewan.com/pagecv daily 0.75 2023-05-26 https://www.racheldewan.com/runner daily 0.75 2020-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1588877114903-9729Q7CB9PZYRMITDWHF/Portland.JPG Runner - Portland Runners Toronto We started out as a group of 7 friends who loved to run together.

From tiny seal stones and figurines, to miniature frescoes and diminutive pots, small-scale objects are particularly prevalent in the material culture of prehistoric Crete and the Aegean. But why is this? What were miniatures used for and what did they mean? My doctoral research investigated the use and significance of miniature pottery in the Bronze Age Aegean from the Protopalatial and Neopalatial periods (approximately 1900 BCE to 1450 BCE). My primary data involved the material study of more than 500 miniature ceramic vessels from thirteen settlements across central and Eastern Crete. I presented the preliminary results of this analysis at the 121st Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in January, 2020, and successfully defended my PhD dissertation at the University of Toronto in September 2021. The thesis abstract and table of contents are available on my academia.edu page, and an article containing some of my doctoral research was published in the Annual of the British School at Athens in 2023. I am currently working on the publication of this material and the continued study of small-scale objects in the Bronze Age Aegean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9280757248252d9bd8670b/1587089704814-45XIYIO2100WI9O772YY/Water.JPG Research - Sacred Waters and Ancient Rituals I am fascinated by the religious rituals that mark our life cycles as humans. My husband, Dr. Jonathan M. Flood, is fascinated by water, and how its chemistry has shaped its use and perception in cultures over time. Together, we investigate water rituals around the world, particularly the ancient Mediterranean, exploring how water, an essential part of life on earth, has been revered, feared, and believed to be curative, transformative, or prophetic. Read more about our work and adventures on Jonathan’s website, and join us as we investigate healing water cults and water-centric social phenomenon from archaeological and historical contexts. https://www.racheldewan.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.racheldewan.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-px72e monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.racheldewan.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-5gpcd monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.racheldewan.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-9jecd monthly 0.5 2024-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
