Shoe Meritt published her fundamental study of the Profiles of Greek Mouldings in 1936, later followed by the Profiles of Western Greek Mouldings in 1952, and Etruscan and Roman Republican Mouldings in 1965. In this exhibit we are honored to document the contributions made by Dr. Meritt to Etruscan archaeology, displayed in photographs of her work and manuscripts of the original 1965 publication as well as a preview of the new, updated edition, about to appear as a monograph published by the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the American Academy in Rome. Throughout her life as a scholar and teacher, Mrs. Meritt has inspired many students and colleagues in their work. Because of her own long Texas connection as an adopted Texas native in Austin, Texas, the exhibit will further give examples of some of the recent discoveries at sites connected with Texas contributions to Etruscan archaeology, and research on Etruscan architecture.
