Kamilla Trever

[1] Trever specialized in the history and culture of Transcaucasia, Central Asia and Iran.

Trever's career began in 1918 when she was elected as a research fellow at the Imperial Archaeological Commission, which led her to begin work at the Hermitage.

[2] This first stage of her career saw her focus on Sassanian numismatics, as well as publishing material from excavations in Mongolia.

[2] During the 1930s, the focus of her research moved to Hellenistic Bactria and she published a major monograph: «Памятники греко-бактрийского искусства» [Monuments of Greco-Bactrian Art].

[2] Following that posting she was sent to the Armenian branch of the Academy of Sciences, which led to a third major period of research examining the archaeology of the South Caucasus, which resulted in two monographs: Armenia (1953); Caucasian Albania (1959).
