Meg's dissertation, "Of Swords and Strigils: Social Change in Ancient Macedon," covers changes in death-ritual and other areas of society leading up to Macedon's emergence as a major Aegean power in the fourth century BCE. The project situates Macedon within the sphere of Aegean-wide state formation and integrates both textual and archaeological evidence.
Meg graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, and she has worked on excavations in Greece, Sicily, Jordan, and the southern United States.
