Michael L. Katzev
2001-09-20
Michael Lazare Katzev, classical archaeologist and excavator of "The Kyrenia Ship," died at home on Southport Island Saturday, September 8 of a sudden stroke. He is remembered as a passionate scholar whose greatest joy was sharing information with colleagues and the wonders of art and archaeology with friends.
Born in Los Angeles on July 25, 1939 and attending L.A. High, he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in economics at Stanford University in 1961, then crossed the bay to Berkeley for a master's in art history in 1963. Following a year each at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens and at Columbia University, he entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Pennsylvania in 1965.
He learned the skills of excavation at Nemea, Greece from Charles K. Williams II and applied them underwater for the first time on Roman and Byzantine shipwrecks at Yassi Ada, Turkey under George F. Bass. Both teachers were to become lifelong friends.
His desire to study original Greek bronze statues led him to the sea. In Cyprus, off the northern coast town of Kyrenia, he was shown by Andreas Cariolou the mound of Greek amphoras that was to become his life's work. During Mr. Katzev's four years of teaching at Oberlin College he led a team of over 50 excavators in raising and preserving the oldest seagoing vessel then to emerge from the sea. "The Kyrenia Ship" which had traded in cargoes of amphoras, millstones, almonds and iron ingots, yielded insights into the rugged lives of her captain and three crew. While sailing south from their home port of Rhodes about the year 300 B.C., they appear to have been attacked by pirates within sight of ancient Kyrenia. Their ship, perhaps scuttled to hide the crime, was so well preserved that its timbers could be raised, preserved over a five-year period, and reassembled in the crusader castle of Kyrenia where it is on view today with cargo and the crews' possessions.
The ship from the time of Alexander came to life in a replica built "shell first" in the painstaking manner of mortise and tennon joinery at the Psaros yard of Perama, Greece. July 4 of 1986 she sailed past the Statue of Liberty, representing Greece in the Liberty Parade of Tall Ships with Mr. Katzev on board.
In his six years using the libraries of Athens to complete research on the ship, he was delighted to excavate again at ancient Corinth with Charles Williams.
With his wife, they left the Mediterranean in 1982, settling first in Arlington, Vermont for 13 years, then on the island of Southport. The house they built there in 1998 high on the coast became his greatest joy.
Survivors include his wife, Susan; one brother, Richard Katzev and his wife Aphra Reinelt Katzev of Portland, Oregon; a niece, Alexandra Katzev Engs of Lafayette, California; a nephew, David Herbert Katzev of San Francisco; and five second cousins.
Mr. Katzev was a founding member of and cared deeply abut the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, based on Texas A&M University. Under its umbrella, young scholars train to publish and excavate in the Americans and world wide. The family would be grateful if memorial gifts were directed there c/o Jerome Hall, President, INA, P.O. Drawer HG, College Station, TX 77841-5137.
