- This brings together a large body of literary and archaeological material and contexts drawn from both Greek and Roman antiquity as well as theory around fragmentation and the body in pieces. Most of the research was completed during three-year postdoctoral fellowship on the cross-disciplinary project Changing Beliefs of the Human Body, at Cambridge University between 2005-2008. This involved research trips to museums in Italy and Greece, and work on the Assembling Bodies museum exhibition (Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, 2010) and its accompanying catalogue. The research was further developed culminating with the publication of this monograph in 2017.
