Kyle Meredith Phillips, Jr.

Phillips was educated at Bowdoin College (AB cum laude 1956) and Princeton University (MA 1959, PhD 1962). At Princeton he studied with Erik Sjöqvist. In 1962 he also joined the faculty of Bryn Mawr College. Having excavated with the Princeton team at Morgantina in Sicily, Phillips decided to start a new project. Based on advice from Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli Phillips embarked on the excavation of an Etruscan center at Murlo (Poggio Civitate) near Siena in 1966. Here Phillips discovered a monumental complex whose interpretation remains controversial, despite ongoing fieldwork
