Lily Bonga (PhD, 2012) is an Assistant Archaeological Illustrator for the Institute of Aegean Prehistory Study Center and a member of their Publication Team. Dr. Bonga received her BFA in Photography from Cornell University, her MA in Museum Studies from Brandeis University, and her PhD in Art History from Temple University. She first came to the INSTAP Study Center for East Crete in the summer of 2009 as a graduate student and later was awarded the INSTAP SCEC Library Fellowship. Since 2012 she has worked as an archaeological illustrator. Although Dr. Bonga enjoys drawing Bronze and Iron Age pottery for the various projects, she is particularly fond of the Neolithic period, as her dissertation was on "Late Neolithic Pottery from Mainland Greece, ca. 5300-4300 BC."
