Barbara A. Barletta (August 6, 1952 in Carmel, California – February 1, 2015 in Gainesville, Florida) was a prominent American Classical archaeologist and architectural historian.
Barletta earned a B.A. in Art History at the University of California Santa Barbara and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College. From the American Academy in Rome Barletta received the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Classical Studies in 1990.[1][2] She received a series of awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, including an award to support research on the Temple of Athena at Suonion in 2009.[3]
Barletta's scholarship, in particular, focused on the history of the Greek architectural orders.[4] Scholarly reviews of her work on the origin of the Greek orders praised her scholarship for making unique and important contributions.[5] This scholarship considered regionalism and its influence in the emergence of the canonical Greek architectural orders.[6]
