About James B. Pritchard

James Bennett Pritchard (1909-1997) was an American archaeologist who excavated in Israel, Canaan, Egypt, Assyria and Babylon. He received his Ph.D. and taught Religious Thought at the University of Pennsylvania and was the first curator of Biblical Archaeology at the university’s museum. His last major excavation was at Sarafand, Lebanon (1969–1974), which revealed the ancient Phoenician city of Sarepta. It was the first time a major Phoenician city situated in the Phoenician heartland had been fully excavated. He was the President of the Archaeological Institute of America in 1972-73, and the recipient in December, 1983 of the Institute’s prestigious Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement. His major focus throughout his career concerned the relation between material remains and written texts within the context of biblical studies. Pritchard served as editor and consultant to the American Philosophical Society, the American Oriental Society, the National Geographic Society, and the Archaeological Institute of America.
