After finishing Gymnasium Alpha at the Van Maerlantlyceum in her place of birth Eindhoven, Joanita Vroom graduated in Classical Archaeology, as well as in Ancient History at the University of Utrecht. During her studies, she had already been invited to handle the survey ceramics of the Dutch Aetolia Project in Greece. Since her graduation she has worked as free-lance journalist and archaeological ceramic researcher until she was offered the position of post-doc research assistant at the Department of Archaeology, University of Durham (UK), on a grant from the Leverhulme Foundation (1995-1999), as well as the position of part-time Ph.D. student. During this period she studied the Post-Roman ceramic finds from the Boeotia Project of the Universities of Durham and Cambridge. In 2000-2001 she received a grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) to proceed with her Ph.D. research at the University of Leiden. There she finished her thesis After antiquity (2003) which was subsequently published in the Archaeological Studies Leiden University series (ASLU).
During her academic career she became involved in many field projects (excavations and surveys) in Greece, Albania, Turkey and in Cyprus, carrying out research on the Late Roman, Byzantine, Medieval and Post-Medieval pottery found in the Eastern Mediterranean. She has published primarily on socio-economic and cultural aspects of Medieval and Post-Medieval ceramics. Currently, she is a post-doc Research Fellow at the Institute of World Art and Archaeology, Univer-sity of East Anglia, Norwich (UK), at a position financed by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
