Linda R. Gosner is Assistant Professor of Classical Archaeology at Texas Tech University. Her research centers on local responses to Roman imperialism in rural and industrial landscapes of the Western Mediterranean. In particular, she studies the impact of empire on technology, craft production, labor practices, economies, and everyday life in provincial communities. Linda’s primary research and current book project examines the transformation of mining communities and landscapes in the Iberian Peninsula following Roman conquest. In addition to ongoing research and fieldwork in Spain and Portugal, Linda has co-directed the Sinis Archaeological Project in West-Central Sardinia since 2018 and worked as a core collaborator with the Progetto S’Urachi since 2013. Across these varied projects, Linda’s work engages with broad questions about human-environment interaction, community and identity, labor history, mobility, and culture contact. Linda holds a PhD from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University.
