Anthony Ortega

Anthony’s area of study revolves around the art, archaeology, and culture of ancient Greece during the eighth through fifth centuries BCE. His research primarily focuses on depictions of eroticism and images of daily life, with the aim of gaining deeper insights into lived experiences in antiquity. Particularly, he concentrates on Archaic and Classical ceramics from Attica, examining the relationship between these art objects, the socio-economic conditions of their production, and their intended contexts. 

Anthony holds a BA in Art History and Classics, which he obtained from Rutgers University in 2020. Additionally, he holds an MA from the Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art. In the summer of 2022, Anthony actively participated in the archaeological excavation at the prehistoric site of Iklaina, located in southwestern Greece. While at Williams College, Anthony worked with the Cultural Affairs Department of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, contributing to the creation of strategic plans and the design of educational materials for the exhibitions ‘Mohican Miles’ and ‘Nda’keenã, Weekeyaak, Nda’anã: Our Lands, Our Home, Our Heart.’
