Elizabeth Schofield

Schofield attended Cheltenham Ladies' College in the UK before studying at Wilson College (Pennsylvania). She followed her college studies with a master's degree from Washington State University and then, in 1959, a PhD at the University of Cincinnati under Jack Caskey.[1]

Schofield taught at Cornell University before moving with her partner and family to a teaching position at St John's College, Cambridge.[1] Academically, she focused full-time on excavations at Kea; first with Jack Caskey and then directing the archaeological project there after Caskey's death.[2]

In 2005 she was awarded the distinguished service award by the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Cincinnati.[1]
