Brief Profile

Professor David Frankel studied archaeology at the University of Sydney and Gothenburg University, where he specialised on Cypriot prehistory. After some years in the Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities, The British Museum, he returned to Australia in 1978 to take up a lectureship at La Trobe University, where he is now Professor in Archaeology. In 1993 he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, and from 1996 to 1998 served on the Humanities Panel of the Australian Research Council. He is a member of the Permanent Council of the International Union of Pre- and Proto-Historic Sciences and joint Editor-in-Chief of the monograph series Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology. His research interests include Australian Aboriginal archaeology with particular reference to south-eastern Australia and the archaeology of the Bronze Age in Cyprus where he has carried out excavations at Marki Alonia, Deneia and Politiko Kokkinorotsos.
