Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr. was a Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley from 1978 until his death in 2012. He was also the longtime leader of the Harvard-Cornell archaeological expedition to Sardis, serving as its director from 1976-2008. His skill and an unusual ability to work effectively under difficult field conditions enabled Dr. Greenewalt to become one of the most productive archaeologists in the eastern Mediterranean area. The importance of Sardis - from the pages of Herodotus to the history of the Byzantine empire - makes his work important and interesting to students of many fields. Dr. Greenewalt was the author of detailed annual reports on excavations at Sardis as well as articles and works such as Ritual Dinners in Early Historic Sardis (1978). Both to technical scholars in the discipline and to "buffs," his lucid presentation of data, combined with the personal qualities of restraint and modesty, has made classical archaeology a vital intellectual force. He was awarded the Archaeological Institute of America's Bandelier Award for Public Service to Archaeology in 2012.
He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1987. Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr., died May 4, 2012, at the age of 74 in Hockessin, Delaware. | |
