This image displays a black scrapbook page filled with newspaper clippings from June 1960. The clippings, all sourced from various New England newspapers and the New York Times, are arranged in a collage format, primarily focused on archaeology and art history.
The most prominent articles are:
Top Left: From the Gazette (Worcester, Mass.), dated May 19, 1960, titled "English Lecturer in the Fine Arts Tours Museum’s Lawrence Exhibit." It features a photograph of Dr. Kenneth Garlick, an English lecturer, viewing portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence at the Worcester Art Museum. The article notes he is researching Lawrence for a catalog and mentions a special exhibit.
Top Right: From the Sunday Times (New York, N.Y.), dated June 19, 1960, titled "Harvard to Help in Excavation Of Ancient Capital of Israelites." This article discusses a Harvard-led archaeological expedition to excavate the ancient city of Shechem in Jordan, which was the capital of the Israelites. It details the history of the site and the joint excavation with Drew University and McCormick Theological Seminary.
Bottom Right: A smaller clipping from the Patriot-Ledger (Quincy, Mass.), dated June 15, 1960, titled "Summer Project." It reiterates the news that a Harvard-led team will excavate the ruins of King Croesus' ancient capital at Sardis, Turkey, during the summer. This is linked to the larger article above, confirming that this Sardis project is part of the same expedition.
Bottom Left: From the Times (Hartford, Conn.), dated June 15, 1960, titled "Diggers Could Strike It Rich." This article further details the Sardis excavation, mentioning a team of scholars from the Harvard and Cornell archaeology departments. It notes the site is known for the tomb of King Croesus, who ruled Lydia in the 6th century B.C., and the team hopes to uncover evidence about the city's transition from a Jewish center to a Hellenistic one.
Visual & Contextual Notes:
All clippings have handwritten annotations in pencil, likely from the scrapbook's owner. These include dates (“MAY 19 1960,” “JUN 19 1960,” “JUN 15 1960”) and the name “Mrs Moffatt.”
The clippings are slightly yellowed with age and vary in size, affixed with glue or tape to the black page.
The collection suggests a keen interest in contemporary archaeological discoveries, linking the work of Harvard researchers to both biblical history (Shechem) and ancient Anatolian history (Sardis).
The unifying theme is American academic involvement in major international archaeological projects in 1960.
In summary, this scrapbook page is a curated collection of media reports documenting two significant archaeological expeditions led by Harvard University in the summer of 1960—one at the ancient Israelite capital of Shechem in Jordan, and the other at the Lydian capital of Sardis in Turkey—alongside a related article about an English art historian’s visit to a museum exhibit in Massachusetts.
