Biographical or Historical Sketch
The Rayy excavations were sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and with help from the American Institute of Persian Art and Archaeology. The work was carried out from 1934 to 1936 under the directorship of Erich Friedrich Schmidt (1897-1964). When Schmidt left the University of Pennsylvania in the 1930s he brought his original field records from the expedition with him to the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago.
