Introduction

The Prewitt-Allen Archaeological Museum at Corban College showcases over 900 items related to archaeology from the Middle East and Greece. The museum owes its existence primarily to the labors of two men: Robert S. Allen and J. Franklin Prewitt who each contributed hundreds of volunteer hours to establish a depository for the benefit of Middle East studies.

The collection had its genesis in the work of Robert Allen, an adjunct instructor in archaeology from 1956 to 1969. It has been a part of the College Library throughout its existence. This site highlights a representative 200 items from the entire collection.
