Hallam L. Movius

It was the intellectual heart of the anthropology department and the world Jane inhabited every day.

She illustrated artifacts for Professor Hallam Movius and spent her time among the small insular community of graduate students and faculty who orbited the Peabody.

These were the self-described hunter gatherers, the group that gathered at the Hays Bickford cafeteria near Harvard Square, talking shop, arguing about field methods, gossiping about professors, and living the kind of close quarters social existence that small academic departments tend to produce.

In the summer of 1968, Jane joined a team of doctoral candidates on an archeological dig at Tepe Yahya, a mound site in southeastern Iran led by a young tenured professor named Carl Lamberg-Karlovsky.
