Edith Hall Dohan

Edith Hayward Hall Dohan (1877–1943) (born Edith Hayward Hall) was an American archaeologist who earned Bryn Mawr College's first classical archaeology Ph.D.[1] She was the second of four children with a father who attended Yale University. She received her B.A. from Smith College. After her Ph.D. she taught at Mount Holyoke College and spent time, after marriage, to her children. Her 1907 dissertation focused on art in Bronze Age Crete.[2] She later went on to do noteworthy work on ancient Greece and at points visited Crete. Later in life she became interested in the Etruscan civilization.[3] She published an important corpus of Italic tomb groups held in the collection of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.[4]
