Hazel Dorothy Hansen (28 September 1899 - 19 December 1962) was an American classicist.
Early life and education[edit]
Hansen was born was born in California 28 September 1899. Her father was a foundryman.[1] She grew up with two sisters and brother. She informally adopted a World War II orphan from Skyros.[1] Hansen had an active role in the parent Archaeological Institute for many years.[2]
Hansen graduated from the San Mateo Union High School and later taught Latin at the San Mateo Junior College.[3]
She joined Stanford University in 1916 and received her BA and MA in 1920 and 1921 respectively with her Master's thesis about "Study of the Persians of Aeschylus." Hansen continued her studies at the American School of Classical Studies, Athens, Greece between the years 1922-1925. She later received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1926 with her dissertation entitled "Early Civilisation in Thessaly"[4], which later published as a book in 1933. In the year 1927-28 she received the Alice Freeman Palmer Fellowship of the American Association of University Women. [5]
Career[edit]
In 1928 she became an Instructor in the Department of Classics at Stanford University. She followed on to become an Assistant Professor in 1931, an Associate Professor in 1935 and finally a full Professor in 1940 due to her work particularly in the field of Aegean prehistory.
Thessaly[edit]
Several trips to Thessaly in the years 1923-4 led to her work focus in Thessalian topography and prehistory which resulted in her papers on "The Aleuadae: A Thessalian Noble Family" and "The Ancient Sites between Triccala and Larissa in Thessaly."
Skyros[edit]
Hansen's interest on the Greek island Skyros, led her to spend many summers cataloguing and excavating the island. Due to this work she started to write the book "The Early Civilisation in Skyros" which remains unfinished due to her death. Nevertheless her work was recognised by the Greek government which led her to become an honorary Greek citizen of Skyros. [3] Furthermore, thanks to her work the island of Skyros was able to establish its first museum displaying the excavations of pottery and other objects which she had found in graves.[1] The Archaeological Service of the Greek Ministry asked Hansen to write a guidebook for the Skyros museum.[5]
Hansen died on 19 December 1962 at the Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, due to an ongoing heart condition.[2]
