JOHN CHERRY

John Cherry's teaching and research interests, and thus also his publications, are eclectic, and reflect his "mixed" background in Classics, Anthropology, and Archaeology, as well as educational training on both sides of the Atlantic, and archaeological fieldwork experience in Great Britain, the United States, Yugoslavia, Albania, Italy, the southern Caucasus, and (especially) Greece. He currently co-directs a diachronic field survey project on Montserrat in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.
