Marjorie Venit specializes in the art and archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean world with an emphasis on the Greek center and its periphery. She is the author of Monumental Tombs of Ancient Alexandria: The Theater of the Dead and Greek Painted Pottery from Naukratis in Egyptian Museums and is especially interested in cultural intersection and exchange. A former president of the Washington, DC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America, Professor Venit has also served on committees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and directed its Summer Session. Her scholarship has been supported by generous grants, including those from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Philosophical Society, the Kress Foundation, and the J. Paul Getty Trust.
