Michael Gough (Archäologe)

Michael Richard Edward Gough (* 2. August 1916 in Newcastle upon Tyne; † 25. September 1973 in Toronto) war ein britischer Klassischer Archäologe.

Nach dem Studium in Cambridge und Militärdienst im Zweiten Weltkrieg lehrte Michael Gough seit 1951 als Lecturer für Klassische Archäologie an der Universität Edinburgh. Von 1961 bis 1968 war er Direktor des British Institute of Archaeology in Ankara, von 1968 bis zu seinem Tode Professor of Christian Archaeology am Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies in Toronto. Ab 1946 war er verheiratet mit Mary Gough, geb. Ormsby.

Seine Forschungen galten überwiegend dem spätantik-frühbyzantinischen Kilikien (Kleinasien). Hier war er zunächst besonders in Anazarbos und Ayaş (Elaiussa Sebaste) tätig, sein wichtigstes Projekt war jedoch die Erforschung und Freilegung der gut erhaltenen frühbyzantinischen Klosteranlage von Alahan. Seit 1957 grub er auch in der römischen Villa Dionysos in Knossos (Kreta).
