On January 5th, 2024, the Department of Classics and Archaeology’s graduate student, Miranda King, presented her undergraduate thesis at the Archaeological Institute of America’s (AIA) annual meeting in Chicago. Her undergraduate thesis focused on the cataloguing and analysis of the small finds from the Venus Pompeiana Project which excavated at the Sanctuary of Venus at Pompeii. Her poster discussed the artefacts as a whole, but also focused on the collection of slingshot bullets linked to the Sullan siege of the city.

Congratulations, Miranda!
