Anna Lucille Boozer

Anna Lucille Boozer investigates challenges and opportunities in Roman Mediterranean archaeology, with a keen focus on the Roman East and Roman Egypt. As an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Baruch College, she delves into the intricate dynamics of imperialism and daily life within the Roman Empire. Her research is particularly centered on understanding how the migration of people, goods, and ideas across imperial borders influenced the lived experiences of ordinary individuals during this era. Anna's academic journey has led her to conduct numerous excavations across the Roman Mediterranean, providing her with a rich tapestry of insights into ancient civilizations. Her current archaeological endeavors include active participation in excavations within a Roman city located in the Western Desert of Egypt. This work not only contributes to the broader understanding of Roman imperialism but also sheds light on the nuanced interactions between different cultures and societies. In addition to her fieldwork, Anna co-directs the Meroe Archival Project, a significant initiative aimed at preserving and analyzing historical records from the ancient city of Meroe. This project underscores her commitment to integrating archival research with archaeological findings, thereby offering a comprehensive perspective on the complexities of ancient societies. Through her multifaceted research, Anna Lucille Boozer continues to illuminate the interconnectedness of the ancient world, enriching our understanding of its enduring legacy.
