We share with great sadness the passing of Gisela E. Walberg, Marion Rawson Professor of Aegean Prehistory Emerita in the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati, who died on July 24 at the age of 83.
A distinguished Bronze Age Aegean archaeologist, professor Walberg joined the University of Cincinnati Classics faculty in 1979. She remained an active and prolific scholar, as well as a dedicated teacher and mentor, until her retirement in 2011. Her many contributions to the field included directing excavations at Midea in Greece and Episkopi-Bamboula in Cyprus.
Beyond her scholarly achievements, she was also known for her kindness, generosity, and commitment to animal welfare.
