Nathan Arrington specializes in classical archaeology and focuses on the material culture of ancient Greece, from the Early Archaic through the Late Roman periods. His monograph Ashes, Images, and Memories: The Presence of the War Dead in Fifth-Century Athens (Oxford University Press, 2015) examines how monuments, objects, and images, in their ritual and spatial contexts, changed the way that people viewed and remembered military casualties. A second monograph (At the Margins: Style and Society in Early Athens), under contract with Princeton University Press, explores connections between the Aegean and the East in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE, and advocates for the geographic and social margins as catalysts of cultural change. Arrington received the Arthur Kingsley Porter Prize from the College Art Association for his 2018 article, “Touch and Remembrance in Greek Funerary Art.”
