Janet Crisler

Janet Crisler of Carmel, California, while a volunteer at the excavations at Caesarea in 1974, became concerned with preserving and restoring the city, threatened now by local development. Acting on her concern, she formed “Caesarea World Monument,” a project with ambitious plans for the site. Crisler is co-author of Loaves and Fishes, Foods From Bible Times (Keats, 1985) and founder of the Crisler Library at Ephesos.
