Ernst Buschor (2 June 1886, Hürben – 11 December 1961, Munich) was a German archaeologist and translator.

Biography

From 1905, Buschor studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München as a student of classical archaeologist Adolf Furtwängler, earning his doctorate in 1912. After serving as a soldier in the Balkans during World War I, he became an associate professor of classical archaeology at the University of Erlangen. In 1920, he became a full professor at the University of Freiburg. From 1921 to 1929, he was director of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens. From 1929 to 1959, he served as a professor of classical archaeology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

From 1922 to 1924, he conducted archaeological excavations in Athens, Olympia and Amyklai (Sparta), and for many years served as director of excavations on the island of Samos (1925–1939; 1951–1961). In 1921, he became a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.
