David B. George 
I did my undergraduate work in Classics and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. I then went to The Ohio State University where I completed my Ph.D. in Classics. My dissertation examined the Neronian poet Lucan’s relationship to Stoic philosophy and politics.
Over the years I have worked on a number of aspects of the ancient world. I have written on Hebrew narrative in the Bible, Greek Tragedy, Roman Epic, and Ancient Philosophy. For the last 15 years, I have been working on archaeological projects in Western Crete and central Italy. Currently, I am co-director of a project that is excavating several sites just outside of Orvieto, Italy. Theses sites range from a pyramidal hypogeum deep underneath Orvieto to an Etrusco-Roman site 12 kilometers away as well as a medieval church. You can explore some of them at digumbria.com.
I am in the midst of preparing the 150 or so Etruscan inscriptions that we have excavated in the hypogeum for publication.
