Profile
R. Scott Moore's research focuses on trade and communication in the Eastern Mediterranean from the second through the eighth centuries AD. He has participated in archaeological projects in Cyprus and Greece, as well as several underwater archaeology projects in North America. His publications include Archaeology and History in Roman, Medieval, Post-Medieval Greece with Caraher and Hall, and Pyla-Koutsopetria: Archaeological Survey of a Late Roman Coastal Town with Caraher and Pettegrew.
In 2003, he started the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project (PKAP), a diachronic, intensive archaeological investigation of a five-square-km area on the southern coast of Cyprus. The overall aim of the project was to determine the relationship between the material culture of this stretch of coastline and other coastal sites on the island, inland sites in the vicinity of Larnaka, and the Eastern Mediterranean more generally.
Professor Moore also works with a number of other archaeological projects, such as the Princeton-Polis excavations and the Michigan State University Excavations at Isthmia, Greece. His research and service work at IUP has been recognized with the IUP Distinguished Faculty Award for Research (2019), the IUP Distinguished Faculty Award for Service (2018), and the IUP Distinguished Professor Award (2019–20). Professor Moore is also currently serving as the department chairperson.
Moore also maintains additional pages.
