Thomas Kiely studied archaeology and ancient history at
Liverpool University. He completed a PhD in the archaeology of
Bronze and Iron Age Cypriot settlements in the Institute of
Archaeology, Oxford in 2005 under Dr Susan Sherratt. During this
time he also tutored undergraduates and visiting students in Late
Bronze Age, Homeric and Classical Archaeology, in addition to
undertaking other educational and research work. Thomas joined the
British Museum in 2006 as a curator to continue the Cyprus
Digitisation Project.
His research interests include: the settlement topography of
Cyprus in the second and earlier first millennia BC; the cultural
relationship of Cyprus, the Aegean and the Levant in the Late
Bronze Age and early Iron Age; early Phoenician and Greek
settlement in the Eastern Mediterranean; the relationship between
iconography and ethnic and cultural identity.
