Artemios’ research focuses on the application of state of the art scientific techniques on the study of ancient materials and especially glass as a mean for: a. the identification of ancient technological aspects, b. answering archaeological questions in relation to the reconstruction of ancient technologies, c. changing technological practices through space and time, d. the provenance of ancient materials, e. the fusion of scientific results with aspects of the humanities. As an archaeological scientist, he is involved in various interdisciplinary archaeological projects, both as primary researcher and research associate, in the broad field of Archaeological Science.
He has authored and co-authored research papers in edited volumes, peer reviewed scientific journals and conference proceedings (see the attached Curriculum Vitae for details), while he has participated in more than 30 international and national conferences with oral and poster presentations. Furthermore, he is a reviewer in four International Scientific Journals (Journal of Archaeological Science (Reports), Archaeometry, Journal of Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences and Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry).
