AHMA Faculty
The AHMA Faculty represents an impressive range of expertise in the archaeology, history and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. In choosing a graduate school a candidate should carefully consider both the scholars presiding over his or her general graduate training and the scholar(s) with whom the candidate would wish to pursue a special interest in writing a dissertation.
