Profile

Hannah Hungerford is a Ph.D. student focusing on Greek art history and archaeology. Before coming to Princeton, she completed an M.A. in classics at the University of Colorado-Boulder, an M.A. in classical art and archaeology from King’s College London, and a B.A. from Barnard College in ancient studies and art history. Hannah’s research is focused on processes of identity formation in the Classical world as reflected in visual and material culture, specifically in architectural decorative programs and in the display of freestanding sculpture. She is broadly interested in how ancient art uses visuality and materiality to convey narrative and the movement of images through the Mediterranean.

Hannah has excavated at Hadrian’s Villa with Columbia University, in Molyvoti, Thrace, with Princeton University, in Samothrace with American Excavations Samothrace, and in Hermopolis Magna, Egypt, with the City of the Baboon Project. She is currently the Field Director for the Brač Island Project in Croatia. She has also held internships at the Princeton University Art Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, and the Roman Society at the Institute of Classical Studies in London.
