Film with Philipp Stockhammer on Aegean Pottery

Dr. Philipp W. Stockhammer and his research work are introduced in the film portrait. The archaeologist focuses on the appropriation of pottery of Aegean origin.

In the film, Dr. Philipp W. Stockhammer describes his focus on the appropriation of Aegean pottery in the Southern Levant (Israel, Lebanon) in the Late Bronze Age between 1400 and 1100 BC. He examines why the people in the Southern Levant acquired this pottery and how they used the vessels.

Dr. Philipp W. Stockhammer is Postdoctoral Researcher in project D2 "Materiality and Practice" of the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context". Besides, he is affiliated with the Institute of Pre- and Protohistory at Heidelberg University. In his habilitation thesis, he focuses on "Material Entanglements: The Appropriation of Foreign Pottery in the Eastern Mediterranean Late Bronze Age".

The film portrait was produced by Christoph Bertolo and Frank Pfeiffer. It is part of a series by the Chair of Visual and Media Anthropology under supervision of Prof. Dr. Christiane Brosius. The idea is to present selected Cluster researchers and their projects. Among others, the ethnomusicologist Franck Bernède, the media practitioner Deepali Gaur Singh and the historian Manik Man Bajracharya have already been portrayed.
