The Cretan Collection in the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania I

Between 1900 and World War I three American archaeologists (Harriet Boyd Hawes, Edith Hall Dohan, and Richard Seager) explored eastern Crete, excavating settlements and tombs of the Neolithic, Minoan Bronze, and Early Iron Age. The Cretan collection of The University Museum, the largest and most representative of its kind outside Europe, is drawn from these expeditions. The collection includes pottery, metal, and stone objects.
