Obituary

The editors of Nestor are deeply saddened to report the death of Professor Emmett L. Bennett, Jr. The study presented in his dissertation of the signs of the Linear B documents remains fundamental; in his long career he corresponded with, taught, or collaborated with many of the scholars in the field of Linear B studies, in which he published broadly. Founding Nestor, the Bibliography of Aegean Prehistory and Related Areas in 1957 was a minor note among his academic contributions, but one remembered with gratitude in this office.
