Virginia Grace (1901–1994) was an American archaeologist, known for her lifelong work into amphoras and their stamped handles.〔 As a result of this work, amphoras and their stamped handles are now useful as a tool for closely dating archaeological contexts and serve as a primary indicator for tracing and understanding ancient trade in the Mediterranean.〔 Her research files are the foundation of a unique archive of stamped handles (totaling some 150,000 records) from across the ancient world and to which scholars continue to add.〔 ==Personal life and education== Virginia Grace was born in 1901 in New York City to Lee Ashley and Virginia Fitz-Randolph, a comfortably-off family with her father involved in importing cotton.〔http://www.brynmawr.edu/library/exhibits/BreakingGround/grace.html〕〔 She attended Brearley School.〔http://www.brown.edu/Research/Breaking_Ground/bios/Grace_Virginia.pdf〕 She attended Bryn Mawr College, graduating in 1922, after which she taught English and mathematics to secondary-school students for several years. In 1927 she returned to Bryn Mawr interpolating her studies with a year at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and earning her PhD in 1934, working with stamped amphora handles.〔 Whilst at Bryn Mawr she became engaged to a fellow student, although they did not marry before his death (a few years before 1940).〔 She died in Athens on 22 May 1994.〔〔Medwid, L.
