Liana Brent
“Step Back, You’re Digging Kind of Close”

So often explored from the perspective of monuments and memory, Roman funerary archaeology is in its infancy, insofar as it considers the role of the body in mortuary practices. In this shoptalk, Liana Brent argues for new ways of studying bodies, bones, and burials in Roman archaeology with select case studies from her archaeological fieldwork.

Brent is the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation/Samuel H. Kress Foundation Pre-Doctoral Rome Prize Fellow in Ancient Studies and a PhD candidate in the Department of Classics at Cornell University.

Marino is the Luciano Berio Rome Prize Fellow in Musical Composition and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
