Elizabeth Douglas Van Buren (birth name Elizabeth Douglas; 1881 1961) was a British Classical and Near-eastern archaeologist. She studied art history and archaeology and subsequently went to Rome for research. Van Buren initially specialized in ancient terracottas used as siding for archaic buildings in Italy and Greece. Later she turned to the figurative art of Mesopotamia as a research focus. Van Buren was a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute, and was elected member of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. She was noted for her contributions on excavations in Warka to Iraq. Her numerous publications on artefacts and iconography from Mesopotamia were described as "indispensable works of reference". In total she produced 66 publications in the subject of Near Eastern studies, and 18 publications in the areas of Greek, Etruscan and Roman archaeology (Wikipedia).
