About the Author

Virginia Webb: I studied Classical Archaeology at the University of Oxford under Professor John Boardman, and gained my DPhil, which I published as 'Archaic Greek Faience' (Warminster 1978) a comprehensive study of Late Period Faience objects from the Greek world and their links with Egyptian faience, culture and technology. I have published a large number of articles on related topics. I am now working on the Naukratis project in the British Museum, and on cataloguing newly excavated faience finds from both the Heraion on Samos, and the Aphrodite Temple sanctuary at Miletus. I am also commissioned to contribute to a joint Greek and International project to assemble all Egyptian and Egyptianising objects from Greece and have undertaken to publish the objects from Rhodes.
