Studying the history of ancient Greece mainly through an archaeological approach. Main study themes include the palatial society around the Aegean Sea, formation process of polis (early Iron Age) and space structure at polis. Professor Suto has also been participating in research of Akoris in Middle Egypt since 1997 and has taken charge of researching excavated Greek articles from the Hellenistic period. He is now interested in the reconstruction of the dynamic cultural exchange in the eastern Mediterranean area beyond what is considered the traditional framework of "Greece." Professor Suto seeks to foster a student's ability to autonomously develop their unique field-oriented history research skills in addition to pursuing the more traditional study methods of classic archaeology.
