Born in Greece, Christofilis Maggidis received a thorough classical education in the Classical Lyceum of the Anavryta Model School, and the University of Athens (BA in History and Archaeology, 1988), being awarded several honorary distinctions and scholarships for excellence. He further pursued graduate studies on prestigious fellowships (Fulbright, William Penn, and Charles Williams Fellowships) at the University of Pennsylvania (Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology, 1994), and postdoctoral studies as a Fellow at Brown University (1997-1999) and a White-Levy Research Fellow at Harvard University (1999-2001). Christofilis has also taught Archaeology, Ancient History, Classics, and Philosophy at Campus College and the University of Indianapolis, Athens, and since 2001 he has joined Dickinson College as the Christopher Roberts Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Classical Studies.

Christofilis Maggidis is an active field archaeologist with long field experience since 1985 as a trench master and sector supervisor at major archaeological sites (Thera, Idaean Cave and Archanes in Crete, Glas, and Mycenae); he is currently Assistant to the Director of the Excavations at Mycenae, Prof. Spyros Iakovidis, and Director of the Dickinson Excavation Project and Archaeological Survey (D.E.P.A.S.) of Mycenae. In 1999 he was elected to membership in the Athens Archaeological Society. His main research and teaching interests focus on Aegean Prehistory (especially Minoan and Mycenaean pottery, architecture, religion, and socioeconomic structure), but also include Classical Sculpture and Architecture, Archaeological Methodology and Interpretation. Christofilis has given 20 invited lectures and presented 20 international conference papers worldwide. His publications comprise 15 articles, excavation reports, and two forthcoming books, From Prepalatial to Protopalatial: Defining the Transitional EM III – MM II Ceramic Phases at Archanes and Central Crete (funded by the White-Levy Foundation and scheduled to be published by INSTAP in 2007) and The Royal Workshops of Mycenae: The Artisans’ Workshop and The House of Columns (funded by INSTAP and scheduled to be published by the Athens Archaeological Society in 2008).
