Dr. Inge Uytterhoeven studied Classical Philology (MA 1995) and Archaeology (MA 1998) at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - Belgium. From 1998 to 2002 she was as a PhD student connected with the 'Historical Topography of the Fayum in the Graeco-Roman Period' Project under the direction of Prof. Dr. Willy Clarysse (Ancient History - Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - Belgium). In March 2003 she obtained her PhD degree with a dissertation dedicated to the Graeco-Roman village and necropolis of Hawara in the Egyptian Fayum (Hawara in the Graeco-Roman Period. Life and Death in a Fayum Village), which was based upon the combined study of archaeological, literary, epigraphical and papyrological data.

In 1997 she started participating with the excavations at Sagalassos. After she worked one campaign on the Upper Agora North and Bouleuterion sites, she has since 1998 been supervising the excavations of the late antique urban mansion in the eastern domestic area of Sagalassos. From October 2002 onwards she has been fully involved with the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project as a post-doctoral researcher. During her first mandate as Post-doctoral Fellow of the Research Council Flanders - Belgium (2003-2008) she focused on late antique urban housing in Asia Minor taking the urban mansion of Sagalassos as a starting point. The central theme of her current, second mandate as Post-doctoral Fellow (2008-2011) is the study of early Roman housing in the Eastern Mediterranean as a possible indicator for a common 'Imperial ('Roman') culture' in this area. During the academic year 2008-2009 she is carrying out her research at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Istanbul - Turkey.
