Marianne Bergeron

Marianne Bergeron studied theatre, classical archaeology, and art history at the University of Ottawa and the University of Toronto before completing her PhD at the University of Reading in 2010. Her thesis, entitled Contextualising Greek Pottery in Archaic Carthage examined the patterns of distribution of Archaic Greek pottery found in Carthage, and looked at possible connections with the Greek world through the different uses observed of these wares.

Marianne joined the British Museum in 2011 as Project Curator in the Naukratis Project responsible for the cataloguing, research, and publication of the Greek pottery from the early excavations carried out at the ancient site of Naukratis (Kom Geif) in the Western Nile Delta.

Prior to joining the museum, Marianne lectured at the University of Reading. Her research interests include Greek and Western Phoenician relations, Carthaginian archaeology, and Phoenico-Punic burial customs.
