Fogg Assistant Given Tenured Appointment

David G. Mitten, Francis Jones Assistant Professor of Classical Art, has been appointed associate professor of Classical Art and Architecture on Harvard's James Loeb Endowment.

Mitten, an authority on the art of Greece and Rome, has been assistant director of the Harvard-Cornell excavations at Sardis, Turkey, since 1964. Last summer he was project director of a survey which unearthed new evidence on Troy, Southern Anatolia, and other Bronze Age sites.

He is also assistant curator of Classical Art at the Fogg Museum and the organizer of the current international exhibition of "Master Bronzes of the Classical World."
