Career and Honours

Mountjoy is a recipient of a Seymour Gitin Distinguished Professor Fellowship from the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in 2014 to study Mycenaean decorated pottery in Cyprus and the South Levant.[3] She has also obtained the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, Glassman Hall Fellowship, and was elected as a Corresponding Member of the German Archaeological Institute.[4] On 5 May 1988 she was also elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA)[5] Mountjoy is currently working on Mycenaean Pottery IIIC (1200-1050) in Cyprus, Turkey and Israel.[6] She is also an experienced draftsman and uses that skill to teach students through "College Year in Athens".[7] Her book, "Mycenaean Pottery: An Introduction" is streamlined for accessibility by introducing the topic and backing it up with a brief description of archaeological and historical background. At the time this book was the most up to date and available books on the topic. While a later book, "Troy 9: Troy VI Middle, VI Late and VII. The Mycenaean Pottery" targets a more experienced audience by presenting the pottery using stratigraphy and details of excavation.
