ASOR ANNUAL MEETING

IN MEMORIAM: TRUDE DOTHAN

ASOR is saddened to report that long-time ASOR member Trude Dothan, Professor Emerita at the Hebrew University, passed away in Jerusalem on January 28, 2016, after a long illness.

Trude is most remembered for her ground-breaking publications on Philistine culture, The Philistines and Their Material Culture (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1982), and People of the Sea: Search for the Philistines (New York: Macmillan; Toronto: Maxwell Macmillan Canada, 1992). The latter was co-authored with her late husband and fellow archaeologist Moshe Dothan.

Trude is also remembered as the co-director of fourteen seasons of excavations at Tel Miqne-Ekron with the Director Emeritus of the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research Seymour Gitin. She was a Senior Associate Fellow of the Albright, and in her honor, the Albright has hosted, since 1999, the Trude Dothan Lectureship in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, a bi-annual lectureship endowed by the Dorot Foundation.

During her tenure at Hebrew University, which began in 1977, Trude held the Eliezer Sukenik Chair of Archeology and headed the Berman Center of Biblical Archaeology. In 1991, she received the Percia Schimmel Award in archaeology, awarded by the Israel Museum, and in 1998, she was awarded the Israel Prize for archaeology. In 2003, she was awarded an honorary degree by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, in Jerusalem.
