Ruth Tringham

Ruth Tringham is professor of anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley and director of the BACH (Berkeley Archaeologists at Çatalhöyük) team. At Catalhoyuk Ruth is very interested in the life history of houses, how they were built, how they were used and who lived in them, and how they were destroyed at the end of their useful life. Before coming to Catalhoyuk, Ruth worked for many years in Bulgaria, studying the houses in early farming towns.
