Doctoral work in Mediterranean and Near Eastern Archaeology has been a feature of the University of Pennsylvania since 1898, largely in response to the excavations undertaken by the Penn Museum. Nearly 200 dissertations in Old World Archaeology and Art have been produced at Penn in the course of the last century.
The eminent archaeologist Rodney Young, the director of the Penn Museum's excavations at Gordion[2] that uncovered the royal tomb of King Midas, strengthened the graduate program during the 1960s and 1970s.
