Tribute to Prof. Angeliki Laiou

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the recent death of Prof. Laiou in Boston, Mass.

We offer sincere condolences on behalf of the Amorium Excavations Project to all her family and friends.

Prof. Laiou's death is a great loss to Byzantine studies and to the Amorium Project in particular. Prof. Laiou (shown here with Chris Lightfoot and her long-time friend and colleague Cécille Morrisson at the Dumbarton Oaks Spring Symposium last May) was a staunch supporter of the Amorium Project and took a keen interest in the progress of the excavations, recognizing their importance for Byzantine archaeology and history. She will be greatly missed.

The Amorium Excavation project wishes all its Friends and supporters "Happy Holidays."
