Biography
Rick Bonnie is a University Lecturer in Museology at the University of Helsinki, Finland, where he researches and teaches on museum and heritage ethics, object biographies, decolonisation and provenance issues, museum collection histories, and sensory archaeology. He is the author of Being Jewish in Galilee, 100-200 CE: An Archaeological Study (2019). Among other work, Rick recently led a project that studied the impact of past climatic changes on the rise and fall of Jewish ritual purification baths in Hasmonean-Roman Judaea through hydrological modelling and contextual archaeological analysis.
Patrik Klingborg is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University, Sweden, primarily studying water usage in the ancient Greek world. Within the framework of this, he has focused on non-monumental water sources such as cisterns and wells, as well as how water was used within ancient Greek religion. He is also part of the board of the Frontinus-Gesellschaft and participates in fieldwork by the Swedish Institute at Athens.
“A volume exploring water use from the perspective of mainly non-elite members of society … [A]n excellent compilation with engaging contributions, each exploring interesting case studies raising different, yet complementary, themes, issues, and debates.”
