About the Faculty

Dr. Dorothy Slane received her B.A. in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College in 1978. She then completed an M.A. in Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University in 1982. Following a year of underwater excavation and museum work in Bodrum, Turkey, she returned to Bryn Mawr to complete her second M.A. in 1983 and her Ph.D. in 1987, again both in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. She has worked on excavations in Italy, Greece and Turkey, on land and in the sea. She has also worked in museums in those countries. Most recently, she had an NEH grant in 2000 to organize the Middle and Late Bronze Age pottery from Tarsus, Turkey in the Adana Regional Museum. Currently, she is working on the final publication of the pre-Iron Age pottery from Domuztepe in the same area of southeastern Turkey. She lived in Adana from 1987-2003, teaching mainly at Incirlik Air Base. She has been teaching online courses for the last several years and has relocated to Columbia, MO.
