My life and work are found in my detailed CV here: https://kansas.academia.edu/DimitriosDendrinos/CurriculumVitae
I completed my doctoral studies in City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia in 1975. My active academic career (1975-2003) was highlighted by my work in establishing the field of "Urban and Regional Mathematical Ecology", as well as in Nonlinear Dynamics and the discovery of the "Universal Map" of deterministic, discrete, relative, spatial-temporal change in the fields of Geographical Analysis, Regional Science, Urban. Regional and Transportation Modeling, Planning and Economics. Upon my retirement from academia, I took a decade of hiatus and retrospect. The year 2014, however, was a watershed year for my research. My interest in taking detailed views on certain key archeological sites, monuments and artifacts commenced then. Especially so, with the August 2014 discovery of the tomb at the Kasta Tumulus, near Amphipolis, Macedonia, Greece. That impressive discovery and the almost daily live coverage by the international press of that excavation, rekindled my interest in Archeology which, coupled with my prior undergraduate studies in Architecture Engineering, drew me back to scientific research, the formulation of hypotheses, and on perspectives and interpretations of History. The entire archeological and architectural activity surrounding the Kasta Tumulus got me to confront questions on Empiricism, stratigraphy, data acquisition, measurements, record keeping, reporting, and besides the theory, methods and techniques of the Archeology and Architecture proper, the associated Technology, Economics, Sociology, Psychology and Politics involved in archeological excavations. By 2016 my interest took me into obtaining a closer look at the site referred to as "Gobekli Tepe" and the significant problems regarding the dating of archeological sites' structures based on radiocarbon-14 alleged evidence. In turn, my venturing into the field of Archeology propelled my entry into, and triggered questions surrounding, Epistemology, an area in which I have been actively involved since 2019 and to which my work on the "New Epistemology" belongs.
