Cleo Rickman Fitch (June 16, 1910 – January 15, 1995) was an American archaeological researcher who specialized in Roman lamps.
Soon after arriving in Tennessee, Fitch's father died and her mother supported the family by teaching school.
In 1945, the couple moved to New York City, where James Fitch took a teaching job at Columbia University.
With her drafting skills, she was also given the responsibility of putting together the building plans for the new museum that Brown, representing the American Academy at Rome, was having built at Cosa[2] Each summer for the following 21 years, Fitch made Rome her home and continued her work at the American Academy, reconstructing, drawing and cataloguing the lamp fragments from the Costa excavation site.
Their collaborative effort resulted in the publication of Cosa: The Lamps in 1994, part of the American Academy Series published by the University of Michigan Press.
