Anna van der Weij has been affiliated with Utrecht University since 2021 as a PhD candidate in the interdisciplinary project Constructing the Limes. Her research focuses on the functioning of the border area around the Lower Germanic limes, from the Northern Netherlands to Northern France, during the early Roman Empire. She is interested in the impact of the inhabitants on the landscape and vice versa and studies, among other things, funerary and religious practices within the research area. Her broader research interests include the archaeology of religion and death and the archaeology and history of the Roman Imperial era, particularly with regard to identity and Roman Britain. She particularly enjoys working with geophysical, epigraphic and numismatic data.
