Liana Brent
Roman archaeologist and cultural historian specializing in funerary archaeology. My current research projects explore ongoing interactions between the living and the dead in Roman Italy, cemetery archaeology, tomb disturbance, reuse and violation.
Previously I was a Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wolf Humanities Center for their 2019-2020 forum on Kinship and an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation / Samuel H. Kress Foundation Pre-Doctoral Rome Prize Fellow in Ancient Studies at the American Academy in Rome from 2017 to 2019. Before coming to Bates, I taught at Kenyon College in Ohio from 2020-2023.
I have excavated at several Etruscan and Roman sites in the regions of Puglia, Umbria, and Campania in Italy, including the Coriglia Project near Orvieto, and the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project at Porta Stabia. Since 2011
I have supervised excavations at the Vagnari Cemetery near Gravina in Puglia, most recently as the project’s assistant director.
