Frederick R. and Margaret B. Matson Lectures in Near Eastern Archaeology and Archaeological Technology were established by a generous gift from the Professors Matson who were lifelong friends of the Institute. A Past President of the AIA, serving from 1975-1976, Frederick Matson served as Professor Emeritus at Pennsylvania State University where he has had a long and illustrious career in the Anthropology Department. Margaret Matson, also at Penn State, retired from the Sociology Department and shared her husband’s interest in Near Eastern archaeology and the work of the Institute.
