Faculty Profile
Dr. Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund
Departments: Sociology and Anthropology
Thanks to a Superman cartoon in which a mummy came to life, Dr. Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund first became interested in archaeology at age 6. When her grandfather took her to The University Museum in her hometown of Philadelphia to see real mummies, she says she knew there was no turning back.
“Archaeology is the cultural anthropology of the past, so there is a natural link between the study of living populations and the lives of their ancestors,” she says. “I find that the study of other cultures, ways of life, and belief systems opens windows to the world I would never have otherwise experienced by merely reading or traveling.”
