In 2018, I was part of the Ancient Graffiti Project (AGP) which aims to create an online database for graffiti in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Working with a small team of students and academics at the archaeological site of Herculaneum, I searched for, identified, recorded, and documented ancient Roman graffiti. This experience affirmed not only my enthusiasm for History and Archaeology, but also my understanding of the importance of preservation and documentation.Project director: Dr Rebecca Benefiel Team leader: Dr Jacqueline DiBiasie-Sammons (The University of Mississippi) and Dr Holly Sypniewski (Millsaps College). Expenses fully covered by the project.
