James Harvey Gaul
James Harvey Gaul was a graduate of Harvard University and an ASPR member during the organization’s early years. He was one of five students during the ASPR’s 1934 summer term and in 1935-36, he was a member of the ASPR’s expedition to Persia. In 1938-39 he conducted archaeological research in Bulgaria as an ASPR fellow before graduating with a PhD from Harvard in 1940. His career as an archaeologist was but short by WWII — Gaul died in a German concentration camp in 1945, but he remains as an important contributor to the ASPR’s beginnings as an organization. The 16th bulletin, published in 1948, consists almost entirely of Gaul’s unfinished manuscript detailing his findings in Bulgaria.
