Dr. Pamela Gaber, professor of archaeology/religion at Lycoming College, is a world-renowned expert in sculpture typology and pottery chronology (the tracking of the development of pottery types).
After earning a Ph.D. in ancient art and archaeology from Harvard University, Gaber spent seven years as a professor of art history at the University of New Hampshire. She has also served on the faculty at the University of Arizona, where she taught Near Eastern humanities. Currently serving as director of education at the Congregation B’nai Yisrael in New York, she is the author of several book and publications, including the recently published “Excavations on the East Acropolis of Idalion” and a children’s book, “Daily Life in Bible Times: What Archaeology Tells Us.”
Gaber will teach a senior seminar in archaeological theory and at least two courses in Judaic studies, but she will also continue to conduct her field school each summer.
