Definition: American classical archaeologist Hetty Goldman excavated primarily in Asia Minor, Yugoslavia, and Turkey. She graduated from Radcliffe College with a PhD in archaeology in 1916. She was the first woman to conduct an officially sanctioned excavation, in 1911 at Halae, Greece. In 1936, she became the first woman professor at the School of Humanistic Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Goldman is probably most closely associated with the excavations at Tarsus and Eutresis in Boetia. Hetty Goldman is also known for sponsoring the escape of Jewish refugees from the Holocaust.
