(born May 6, 1879, Lysá nad Labem, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary—died Dec. 18, 1952, Prague) Czech archaeologist and linguist. He was the first to decipher Hittite cuneiform writing, a major advance in the study of the ancient Middle East. In Language of the Hittites (1915), he argued that Hittite (see Anatolian languages) was one of the Indo-European languages. He later substantiated his claim by translating a number of Hittite documents. In 1925 he led an expedition to Turkey that excavated the ancient city of Kanesh.
