Colleen Zori, Ph.D.

Senior Lecturer in BIC

Baylor Interdisciplinary Core

Colleen Zori Headshot

BIC Courses: Natural World I and II; World Cultures II and III

Colleen Zori’s research addresses the interdependence of political and economic change in past societies, using archaeological data to investigate how changes in political organization relate to shifts in technology, the organization of craft production, and interregional exchange. She has conducted extensive archaeological fieldwork in the Andes of South America, particularly Peru and Chile, investigating how local economies were transformed by incorporation into the Inka empire. She has published widely on both the technical and social aspects of Andean metallurgy.

Dr. Zori is currently carrying out comparative archaeological fieldwork in Italy. She is a co-director of the San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project, a Baylor study abroad program that provides undergraduates an opportunity to engage in primary research. At San Giuliano, she oversees the excavation of a medieval castle complex, investigating how ceramic production and trade in non-local glass wares provide insights into the dynamic political landscape of medieval Italy.
