Stephanie Mary Dalley (née Page) is a British scholar of the Ancient Near East. She retired as a Research Fellow from the Oriental Institute, Oxford. She is known for her investigation into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and her proposal that it was situated in Nineveh, and constructed during Sennacherib's rule. ==Biography== In 1962, after finishing school, Stephanie Page was invited by David Oates, a family friend, to an archaeological dig he was directing in Nimrud, northern Iraq. Here she was responsible for cleaning and conserving the discovered ivories. Between 1962–1966 she studied Assyriology at Cambridge University, and followed it up with a PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. In the years 1966–67, Page was awarded a School Fellowship by the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, and she worked at the excavation at Tell al-Rimah as an epigrapher and registrar. At the same digs was Christopher Dalley, a surveyor and photographer, whom she later married. In 1972, their twins were born. Based on her works at various excavations in the Near East, Dalley published a series of cuneiform tablets found there. In 1984, her book for general readership about the discoveries, ''Mari and Karana: Two Old Babylonian Cities'', was published. From 1979 to 2007, Dalley taught Akkadian and Sumerian at Oxford University. In 1988, she received the title of Shillito Senior Research Fellow. In 2014, Stephanie Dalley appeared in an episode of the television series ''Secrets of the Dead'', titled ''The Lost Gardens of Babylon'', on PBS, which discussed her theory of the location of the Hanging Gardens. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephanie Dalley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
