BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Aliki Halepa Bikaki passed away on Friday, January 21, 2011. She is remembered as a good friend to the ASCSA and to many in the archaeological community in Greece and America over a career that spanned some six decades, first as assistant to John Travlos in the Athenian Agora, then, in the 1950s, as a member of the School’s excavations at Lerna. Following Jack Caskey from Lerna to Kea, she remained a member of the Ayia Irini excavations for the remainder of her life, publishing a volume in the Keos series, Keos IV: Ayia Irini, The Potters’ Marks, in 1984. The wife of Haris Bikakis, ASCSA lawyer for many years, Aliki Bikaki is survived by her son, Myron, a Classical archaeologist and jewelry designer living in New York City.
