Everybody Liked Slain Girl, Harvard Anthropologist Says By ALAN SHEEHAN "Everybody liked her." This simple tribute was paid today to Jane Britton by Harvard Prof. Carl C. Lamberg-Karlovsky, with whom the murdered girl had worked. She was a member of an archaeological expedition which Lamberg-Karlovsky led to Iran last Summer, and which discovered Alexander the Great's lost citadel of Carmania.. Miss Britton had pbnned to return to the "dig" next Summer with the rest of the crew. Lamberg-Karlovsky himself is leaving for Iran on Feb. 7. . "The expediiton meant a great deal to her," the professor said in his office at arvanVs Peabody Museum. In the field, as in the classroom, the girl was "meticulous, amiable, and very attentive," Lamberg - Karlovsky recalled. She was a graduate student in his Anthropology Department, and assisted him as a teaching fellow. He pictured Miss Britton as a pleasant happy and well-balanced girl who possessed many talents. She played the organ well, preferring the music of Mozart and Bach, and was an excellent artist much in demand to illustrate books and papers on archeology. She was fluent in French, could read Spanish and Ger man, and picked up some Persian on last Summer's expedition. Besides all that, said Lamberg-Karlovsky, Miss Britton was a fine cook who took pride in preparing meals and especially liked to create sauces. He first met the girl nearly three years ago, when she was an undergraduate student in archaeology. He said she was a conscientious student and had worked very hard for an examination, which she would have taken soon, to qualify her for a doctorate. Miss Britton was especially interested in the Neolithic period of 5000-6000 B.C., when agriculture and domestication of animals had taken root and the earliest village communities were forming. i Li &amp; - LAST SUMMER'S archaeological expedition to Iran "meant a great deal" to Jane Britton, recalls Prof. Carl C. Lamberg-Karlovsky, the slain girl's teacher.
