Anna Lucille Boozer is a Lecturer in Roman Mediterranean Archaeology in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Reading. She obtained her B.A. in philosophy and the history of math and science from St. John’s College and her Ph.D. in the Department of Anthropology from Columbia University. She currently excavates Roman domestic contexts as part of the New York University Excavations at Amheida, directed by Roger Bagnall. Her 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.
