Yannis A. Sakellarakis ((ギリシア語:Γιάννης Α. Σακελλαράκης); 1936 – October 28, 2010) was a prominent Greek archaeologist who specialized in Minoan Prehistory. == Career == Sakellarakis studied archaeology at the University of Athens (Dept of History and Archaeology) and later pursued graduate studies at the University of Heidelberg, where he was awarded a doctorate in 1969.〔''Das Kuppelgrab A von Archanes und das kretisch-mykenische Tieropferritual'', Prähistorische Zeitschrift 45, 1970, S. 135–219〕 Sakellarakis taught at the Universities of Heidelberg, Hamburg and Athens. He served as the curator (1963-68) and then director (1980-87) of Heraklion Archaeological Museum in Crete and curator (1970-80) and later deputy director (1987-94) of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.〔(''Professor Yannis Sakellarakis, a larger than life archaeologist'', Ο Κόσμος, 18 Nov. 2010, p.19 )〕 He excavated sites at Archanes, Kythira and Mount Ida. Sakellarakis attracted international attention in 1979, when, while excavating the hill of Anemospilia in Archanes with his wife Efi Sapouna-Sakellaraki, he discovered evidence for human sacrifice by the Minoans.〔(Sakellarakis, Yannis and Efi, ''Drama of Death in a Minoan Temple'', National Geographic 159, pp. 205-223, 1981. )〕 Another major discovery took place in 1982, when Sakellarakis unveiled a large, two-story Minoan building at Zominthos, a small plateau at an altitude around 1200 m in the northern foothills of Mount Ida (Psiloritis). For his scientific achievements, Sakellarakis was awarded high honors and medals, including the Golden Cross of the Greek Order of Honour and the Gold Medal of the University of Crete. He was a member of the Academy of Athens and a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute and the Society of Antiquaries of London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yannis Sakellarakis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
