IPCAA Graduate Student
About
Amelia received an A.B. from Bryn Mawr College in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology with minors in Latin and Greek in 2013. In 2016 she went on to receive an M.A. with Distinction from Durham University in Roman Archaeology, and in 2017 an M.A. from Columbia University in Classical Studies. Her research at Durham, “The Archaeology of Entertainment in Roman Athens: a closer look at the Theatre of Dionysus” posited a new reconstruction and suggested further functions for the theatre during the Roman period and was published in Imperia: Lo spazio mediterraneo dal mondo antico all’età contemporanea in 2016. Amelia has augmented her studies by participating in the American Academy in Rome’s Summer Program in Archaeology, interning at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens and the Yale University Art Gallery, and excavating at the sites of Pompeii: Porta Stabia, Hadrian’s Villa, Onchestos, and Gabii where she currently serves as a field staff member. Amelia’s research interests pertain to the process of Roman urbanization and expansion as well as museum studies and public outreach.
