Michael Gough (archaeologist)

Michael Richard Edward Gough (born August 2, 1916 in Newcastle upon Tyne , † September 25, 1973 in Toronto ) was a British classical archaeologist .

After studying at Cambridge and serving in the Second World War , Michael Gough taught as a lecturer in Classical Archeology at Edinburgh University from 1951 . From 1961 to 1968 he was director of the British Institute of Archeology in Ankara , and from 1968 until his death Professor of Christian Archeology at the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies in Toronto. From 1946 he was married to Mary Gough, b. Ormsby.

His research focused mainly on the Late Antique-Early Byzantine Cilicia ( Asia Minor ). Here he was initially particularly active in Anazarbos and Ayaş ( Elaiussa Sebaste ), but his most important project was the exploration and uncovering of the well-preserved early Byzantine monastery complex of Alahan . Since 1957 he has also been digging in the Roman Villa Dionysos in Knossos ( Crete ).
