Elizabeth G. A. Fagan

Elizabeth was pursuing a degree in ancient history, studying the classical Mediterranean world, when she fell in love with archaeology and more or less begged to be a part of Project ArAGATS. In summer 2006, she excavated first at the Bronze Age citadel of Gegharot and then at the first millennium BC West Settlement at Tsaghkahovit. Bitten by the archaeology bug, she is now pursuing a dual degree in Anthropology/Archaeology and History, intending to look at first millennium Armenia. She is fascinated by the history of the period, and Armenia's relationships with the various empires that laid claim to it at different times. She hopes to use her interest in architecture and built spaces to understand better the first millennium populations and their relationships with the empires that nominally controlled them.
