Patrick Thomas earned a Doctor of Philosophy in classical archaeology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Despite his "classical" degree, his research focuses on Greek Bronze Age and Early Iron Age ceramics and Greek prehistory. Professor Thomas has worked for excavations in Egypt, Turkey, and Greece, most recently at Iklaina in the Peloponnesus and Mitrou on the east-central coast of the Greek mainland. His idea of a great time in the summer is sorting through a big table of freshly-excavated pottery sherds and writing up a preliminary analysis with his colleagues.
Professor Thomas teaches a range of courses in Greek archaeology, European prehistory, ancient Greek history, Latin language, and Classical Mythology. In 2000 he received the Archaeological Institute of America’s Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award, and in 2002 he was the University’s Teacher of the Year. In his spare time, he assists with support of activities of Angel Mounds State Historic Site in Evansville.
