Many congratulations to our own Kathleen Lynch, who is the 2025 Society & Culture Research Advancement Grantee!

On archaeological excavations in the Mediterranean, broken pieces of pottery make up the largest category of finds. For the period from 600-300 BCE Athenian potters exported their wares throughout the region, but original shapes can be hard to identify from fragments. The iDig Pottery app will guide users through a series of questions, then image prompts of complete pots, as well as provide expert tips unavailable in any publication. The app design will be expandable so scholars can create modules for other periods and pottery types.

The Office of Research uses the Society & Culture Research Advancement Grant to incentivize novel research, exceptional scholarship, and the production of creative and performing art works that creatively address issues of increasing societal significance. The program follows a two-stage, LOI and finalist round process and is open to UC faculty whose proposed activities fall within the areas of the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
