Elspeth Dusinberre听(Ph.D. Michigan 1997) is interested in cultural interactions in Anatolia, particularly in the ways in which the Achaemenid Persian Empire (ca. 550-330 BCE) affected local social structures and in the give-and-take between Achaemenid and other cultures. Her first book,听Aspects of Empire in Achaemenid Sardis听(Cambridge 2003), examines such issues from the vantage of the Lydian capital. Her second book is a diachronic excavation monograph,听Gordion Seals and Sealings: Individuals and Society听(Philadelphia 2005). Dusinberre's third book,听Empire, Authority, and Autonomy in Achaemenid Anatolia听(Cambridge 2013), considers all of Anatolia under Persian rule and proposes a new model for understanding imperialism; it was recognized by the James R. Wiseman Award from the Archaeological Institute of America in 2015. Her numerous articles have appeared in various venues, including the听American Journal of Archaeology,听Ars Orientalis, the听Annals of the American Schools of Oriental Research,听and听Anatolian Studies.听She is currently studying the seal impressions on the Aramaic tablets of the Persepolis Fortification Archive (dating ca. 500 BCE), and the cremation burials from Gordion, in addition to other projects at Gordion and Sardis. She has worked at Sardis, Gordion, and Kerkenes Da臒 in Turkey, as well as at sites elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean.

Prof. Dusinberre teaches primarily Greek and Near Eastern archaeology at CU-麻豆影院. She is a President's Teaching Scholar and has been awarded twelve University of Colorado teaching awards.
