Megan Daniels is an assistant professor in the Department of Ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies at the University of British Columbia. Her main specialties are the archaeology and history of ancient Greece, but her deeper interests involve long-term political, commercial, and religious interconnections across ancient Western Asia, Egypt, and the Mediterranean. She has been engaged in archaeological fieldwork since 2002 in Canada, Bermuda, and various sites across the eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Italy, Türkiye, Tunisia, and Macedonia). Her Mediterranean fieldwork includes several seasons as a pottery specialist on excavations of harbours from an ancient Greek coastal site on the Datça Peninsula in Türkiye, south of Bodrum, and she is thrilled to return to Tükiye for the 2027 tour.
