Marco Prete is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC-funded DAEDALOS project at Ghent University. His work focuses on the sociopolitical and economic dynamics of Bronze Age Crete and on architectural developments across the Aegean during the Bronze Age. His doctoral dissertation focused on the architectural and artifactual analysis of two previously unpublished buildings from the Minoan palatial site of Galatas. In addition, he conducted a diachronic and spatial examination of regional data using GIS to explore the historical dynamics of the relatively understudied Pediada region. Since 2019, he has been involved in the Galatas Pediada Project, where he is responsible for publishing the finds from both settlement buildings and the palatial complex, in collaboration with Dr. Giorghos Rethemiotakis and Dr. Kostis Christakis.
