Ana Álvarez Guzmán

Ana Álvarez Guzmán entered Columbia’s PhD program in the Fall of 2019. Her research focuses upon the domestic spaces of Roman Spain, particularly upon the Roman villas of the province of Baetica and their connection to the Andalusian courtyard in modern-day Andalucía and its iterations in Latin America. Ana Gabriela received her A.B. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College in 2019, where she completed the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship with her thesis titled “The Andalusian Courtyard: Architectural Legacies of Agricultural Exploitation and Empire in Southern Spain.” She has held internships at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and at the American School of Classical Studies. Ana Gabriela is at home in both the library and the field, having excavated in the Athienou Archaeological Project in Cyprus (2017) and in the Athenian Agora Excavations in Greece (2018).
