Abstract: We consider an embedded convex ancient solution Gammat to the curve shortening flow in mathbbR2. We prove that there are only two possibilities: the family Gammat is either the family of contracting circles, which is a type I ancient solution, or the family of evolving Angenent ovals, which correspond to a type II ancient solution to the curve shortening flow. We also give a necessary and sufficient curvature condition for an embedded, closed ancient solution to the curve shortening flow to be convex.
