| Biographical Sketch | Charles received his B.A. in Classical Studies with honors from the University of Chicago in 2020. His undergraduate thesis focused on material agency and intermediality in Augustan wall paintings and elegiac poems. He has excavated in Pompeii, Italy with the Pompeian Residential Architecture: Environmental, Digital, Interdisciplinary Archive (PRAEDIA) Project and in Kalavasos-Maroni, Cyprus with the Kalavasos and Maroni Built Environments (KAMBE) Project. His research interests focus on the Roman conception of color reflected in polychromatic art and its materiality (in both archaeometric and art historical senses), especially pertaining to the political and ecological connotations of pigments drawn from across the Mediterranean. |
