Early life

Clarence Stanley Fisher was born on August 17, 1876 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied architecture.

Career

Fisher devoted his career to Near Eastern archaeology. During World War I, Fisher was assigned to Egypt, where he worked under George Reisner there and in Palestine[1] and undertook excavations at Dendera under the auspices of the University Museum, University of Pennsylvania. After the war he undertook archaeological field work in the Near East, still for the University Museum, for which he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Science by the University in 1924.

In 1925 Fisher was appointed professor of Archaeology in the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR). He spent the years 1936–1940 compiling his monumental Corpus of Palestinian Pottery.
