Biography

Jenna received her Master's degree in Archaeology from the Cornell Institute of Archaeology and Material Studies (CIAMS) in May 2023. As a Visiting Researcher at the National Museum of Scotland (2022–2024) in Edinburgh, she undertook curatorial work and completed her thesis research on the efficacy of Roman silver in Iron Age Scotland. Her work continues to explore how postcolonial and materiality theories can be used to investigate moments of transition and technological change in colonial spaces of the Roman imperial period, particularly regarding metalwork. She has been a staff member on the Marzuolo Archaeological Project in Tuscany since 2022 and is currently working on the Small Finds for the site's upcoming publication.
