  • ... that Elizabeth Pierce Blegen (pictured) was one of 'the Quartet' of archaeologists who lived and worked together in Greece as a family, along with Ida Hill, Carl Blegen, and Bert Hodge Hill? Source: "the two [Elizabeth Pierce and Carl Blegen] corresponded regularly, and, with the help of Hill, they eventually formulated a plan that would allow them all to live as one family... Essentially, Pierce and Blegen would marry while Hill would propose to Thallon; the two couples married in 1924, and, as promised, lived and worked together in Athens under the same roof, calling themselves "the Quartet.""

thank you @TJMSmith:! but can the link be changed back to "Elizabeth Pierce Blegen"? Pierce was her maiden name not middle name, and this was how she published (e.g.https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.2307/500182) and is referred to in biographies (e.g. [2]) Eritha (talk) 09:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
@Eritha: Sure. Do you want me to also move the article to Elizabeth Pierce Blegen since it sounds like that is was her most commonly used name?
@TJMSmith: thank you! and that would be great, I didn't know the article name could be changed once it already existed Eritha (talk) 13:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
