Ingrid Rowland (“The Etruscans—Mastering the Delicate Art of Living”) is associate professor in the Department of Art at the University of Chicago. An authority on classical influences on the Italian Renaissance, she is the author of numerous articles and books, including “Etruscan Inscriptions from a 1637 Autograph of Fabio Chigi,” in the American Journal of Archaeology (1989) and A History of Etruscan Studies, 1450–1750 (forthcoming, Cambridge Univ. Press).

Currently a visiting assistant professor at Colby College, Jane K. Whitehead (“Grape Pips, Dog Bones and Acorn Missiles: Who Destroyed the Etruscan Site of La Piana?”) has directed the excavations at La Piana, Italy, since 1982. Her interest in the Etruscans led her to launch a journal for the Etruscan Foundation, Etruscan Studies, of which she is now editor-in chief.
