On April 2, Jack Davis, Carl W. Blegen Professor of Greek Archaeology, was honored as the University of Cincinnati's 2024 Distinguished Research Professor of the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The annually awarded title represents the highest level of recognition for achievements and contributions in AHSS research at the University of Cincinnati. The ceremony opened with remarks by UC President, Neville G. Pinto, before the presentation of the awards by Patrick Limbach, UC's VP of Research. Davis returned to the University of Cincinnati in 1993 after completing his PhD here in 1977. Since his return, he has pioneered the development and application of anthropological and scientific approaches to the study of the ancient Mediterranean world through archaeological explorations of the Greek Peloponnese, Greek islands, and Albania. His most recent project in Pylos (Greece) explores the Palace of Nestor and uncovered the Griffin Warrior tomb. Please join us in congratulating Jack for his significant achievement!
