Archaeology, Sexism, and Scandal tells the hidden tale behind one
of the great American excavations in Greece. In the 1930s, David
Robinson's project on ancient houses became the first of its kind
and fundamentally altered what classical archaeologists' study.
Alan Kaiser documents previously unknown details of the Olynthus
project through lively photographs and enthusiastic letters of one
of Robinson's trench supervisors, Mary Ross Ellingson. He also
reveals the plagiarism of Ellingson's work by Robinson, and how
others in the field were complicit in the theft. This revised
edition narrates the consequences of the first edition's
publication. People who knew Ellingson, Robinson, and others
mentioned in the book contacted Kaiser to share with him important
details he could never have known. Enough new information has come
to light in archives from Canada to Greece to require a retelling
of the archaeology, sexism, and scandal associated with the
Olynthus excavation. Kaiser also includes never-before published
photos that tell the story further in a way words cannot. And in a
twist neither Ellingson nor Robinson could ever have seen coming,
Kaiser reports on one last extraordinary action the book inspired,
a petition to the Library of Congress to add Ellingson's name to
the two Olynthus volumes that her stolen works are in.
