Anna is a late antique archaeologist from the US with an interest in the materiality of Greek inscriptions. She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2017 and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Universität Tübingen. She was previously a Postdoc and Project Leader at the Universität Heidelberg in the SFB 933 (Material Text Cultures) research group. Her monograph, Pagan Inscriptions, Christian Viewers: The Afterlives of Temples and Their Texts in the Late Antique Eastern Mediterranean was published by Oxford University Press in 2023.
She has participated in archaeological projects in Turkey, Greece, and Italy, and since 2018 has led the excavation of a Byzantine necropolis at Labraunda in Turkey (director: O. Henry). She is also co-director of two projects at the site of Phoenix in Turkey (director: A. Yaman) focusing on the Byzantine landscape and on epigraphy.
Other research has centered on Cappadocia, Caria, and northern Syria.
Anna held a Joint Postdoctoral Fellowship (2017-18) at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies in DC and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Berlin/Munich. She spent two years in Athens at the ASCSA (2014-16) and was a Gastwissenschaftlerin (guest researcher) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich (2016-17).
