Dr. Hélène Verreyke
My name is Hélène Verreyke (1979) and I am part of the Community Museums Past and Present project of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. I studied Art History and Archaeology at Ghent University (Belgium) (1997-2001). In 2002 I started as a researcher at the same university on the project Potenza Valley Survey. From Acculturation to Social Complexity in Antiquity: A Regional Geo-Archaeological and Historical Approach, which was the start of many years roaming the Italian Peninsula. From 2003 until 2007 I worked on my PhD Late Roman Pottery in the Potenza Valley. A framework for the study of towns, rural settlements and exchange in central Adriatic Italy. After one year (2008) at FARO. Flemish interface centre for cultural heritage I started as a post-doc researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
