Faculty Member, Department of Archaeology
Lecturer in Roman Mediterranean Archaeology
About
Anna Boozer researches various aspects of Roman Mediterranean archaeology, including specialist subjects on the Roman East, Roman Egypt, imperialism and daily life. Her current research investigates the migration of peoples, goods and ideas across the borders of imperially controlled regions in order to understand how ordinary people experienced the Roman Empire. She is particularly interested in how divergent categories of identity-such as gender, ethnicity, status and age-affected modes of self-representation under Roman rule.
Anna has excavated across the Roman Mediterranean and she currently excavates a Roman city in the Western Desert of Egypt as part of the Amheida Project. She also co-directs MAP: The Meroe Archival Project with Intisar Elzein (University of Khartoum, Sudan). Her publications include articles on imperialism, memory, daily life, frontiers, migration and the life course. She is completing a volume on her excavations at Amheida, Egypt and is co-editing a volume with L. Coben on empires.
Anna is on sabbatical at Columbia University during autumn 2011.
