Butler Expeditions (1910-1914)
Five archaeological expeditions, between 1910 and 1914, to the site of Sardis, located in the west of modern Turkey, which were conducted by Howard Crosby Butler. Butler had planned a long-term effort, but the outbreak of World War I in 1914 interrupted the work of the expedition. Butler died on his way back from Turkey in 1921. His lieutenant, Theodore Leslie Shear, returned in the midst of the Turkish-Greek War in 1922, but had to leave. For further information see: Howard Crosby Butler, Sardis I (Leyden, E. J. Brill, 1922).
