Rinse Willet is currently a Ph. D. student preparing a dissertation on "The socio-cultural context of the concept and use of tableware in the Roman East (2nd c. BC – 7th c. AD)". He received his MA at Leiden University in 2007 with his thesis "Feeding Roman Corinth: an exploration in urbanism, economy and population sustainability". As a former staff member of the Boeotia Survey(Greece) he coordinated the field-campaigns and joined the ceramological study campaigns as well, from which his interest in Roman pottery derives. Formerly active in Dutch commercial archaeology, he studied Roman ceramics in the Netherlands as well. He joined the ICRATES-project in early 2009 and studies the table-wares of the Sagalassos project and the Boeotia Survey(Greece) for his dissertation. His main fields of interest are the ancient economy, Roman society, Roman ceramics and ancient demography.
