Justin St. P. Walsh
Justin St. P. Walsh (born 1975) is an American archaeologist, and an associate professor at Chapman University.[1] He has collaborated with the American excavations at Morgantina, Sicily, since 1999 [2] and currently directs an excavation at the site of Cástulo, Spain.[3] He is also a pioneer in the field of space archaeology, co-directing the first archaeological investigation of a human habitation site in space, the International Space Station Archaeological Project.
Life[edit]
Walsh graduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.A., from the University of Minnesota with an M.A., and from the University of Virginia with a Ph.D. He received a Fulbright Grant to study at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 2002, and a Rome Prize to write his dissertation at the American Academy in Rome in 2003. In 2016, he was Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor at the University of Bristol.[4] Prior to Chapman University, he taught at Louisiana State University and the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies.
Work[edit]
Walsh's work in Mediterranean archaeology has been primarily concerned with understanding intercultural interactions. His 2014 book Consumerism in the Ancient World: Imports and Identity Construction studied the distribution of Greek pottery found at hundreds of sites across western Europe.[5] Using theory from evolutionary biology (especially costly signaling theory), sociology, and economics, and geostatistical analysis in the form of kriging, Walsh mapped patterns of acquisition and interpreted them as evidence of efforts to construct identities relevant within local communities.[6]
In space archaeology, Walsh has proposed a new protocol for protecting cultural heritage in space,[7] studied ephemeral space technology from an archaeological perspective,[8] and argued for a new definition of the concept of planetary protection to include environmental concerns.[9] Together with Alice Gorman, he is developing the first archaeological project to study a permanent habitation site in space, the International Space Station. The importance of this project has led to coverage in both space-related and general-interest media.[10] [11][12][13]
