Nancy Serwint teaches ancient art and archaeology with a focus on the cultures of the eastern Mediterranean basin. She received her doctorate in classical archaeology from Princeton University in 1987 and a master's from the same institution in 1983. Prior to that she received a master's in art history (ancient) from the University of Chicago in 1977, and her bachelor's in classics (ancient Greek) was awarded in 1973 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
As a classical archaeologist, Serwint has worked on excavations in Sicily (Morgantina), in the Athenian Agora, at ancient Corinth, and since 1983 at ancient Marion/Arsinoe in Cyprus. Her research focus has been varied with investigation and publications dealing with ancient athleticism and athletic representations in the Greek sculptural repertoire and gender issues in Cyprus and the ancient Near East. Her recent work is devoted to the study of the coroplastic arts of Cyprus and ancient Israel, focusing on production and manufacturing strategies, cross-cultural stylistic influences, and the role played by terracotta votive sculpture in cult ritual and religious worship. She currently serves as the co-director of the Princeton University Cyprus Expedition. Publication projects involve the study and publication of the Persian Period figurines from the site of Tell Halif, Israel (Lahav Research Project, Phase IV), the terracotta figurines from the area of the hippocrome in ancient Carthage (Tunisia), and the corpus of terracotta sculpture from the ancient sites of Marion and Arsinoe (Cyprus). She is the co-president of the board of trustees of the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute (Nicosia, Cyprus) and is a board member of the American Schools of Overseas Research.
