underwater archaeology.
Archaeology has been the focus of Dr. Hale’s career from his B.A. studies
at Yale University to his doctoral research at the University of Cambridge,
where he received his Ph.D. The subject of his dissertation was the Bronze
Age ancestry of the Viking longship, a study that involved fi eld surveys

at a Romano-British town in Lincolnshire, England, as well as at a Roman
villa in Portugal; has carried out interdisciplinary studies of ancient oracle

team developing and refi ning a method for dating mortar, concrete, and
plaster from ancient buildings—a method that employs radiocarbon analysis
with an accelerator mass spectrometer.
Dr. Hale has published his work in Antiquity , Journal of Roman
Archaeology , The Classical Bulletin , and Scientifi c American . Most of
his work is interdisciplinary and involves collaborations with geologists,
chemists, nuclear physicists, historians, zoologists, botanists, physical
anthropologists, geographers, and art historians. He has received numerous
