Mercy Seiradaki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mercy Seiradaki (née Money-Coutts; 16 April 1910 – 1 September 1993) was a British archaeologist who worked in Crete in the 1930s, mostly on projects led by John Pendlebury, including excavations at Knossos. She co-authored several reports on the work undertaken with him and published a later key text on the pottery from Karphi in 1960. During the war she worked at Bletchley Park, and then joined the Red Cross. She worked with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in Crete in the post-war years and lived in Greece for the rest of her life.
- Note: In the Greek language Seiradaki is the customary last name for a woman married to someone called Seiradakis. More information here.
