Machteld Mellink, Pioneer Of Turkish Archaeology And Defender Of Cultural Heritage, Dies At 88Machteld Johanna Mellink, a Bryn Mawr archaeologist who was internationally known as the preeminent scholar of ancient Turkish cultures and a tireless defender of ethics in archaeology, died at the Quadrangle in Haverford, Pa., on Feb. 23. She was 88... Early in her career, she participated in the groundbreaking excavation of Tarsus and the important excavation of Gordion, the capital of the legendary King Midas of Phrygia. In 1963 she began excavations on the plain of Elmali, where no previous archaeological work had been done, and continued digging and researching there the rest of her active life.

In the plain of Elmali, she uncovered at Karatas-Semayük an important Early Bronze Age settlement and cemetery. She also led the excavation and conservation of the spectacular painted tombs of the late sixth through early fifth century B.C.E. at Kizibel and Karaburun near Elmali. Over the course of her long career she brought international attention to archaeological discoveries throughout Turkey and defended its cultural heritage against looting and illegal export. Mellink also maintained a lifelong interest in Troy and was a partner in the recent project there undertaken by the Universities of Tübingen and Cincinnati.
