Professor Balmuth, Research Professor in Classics, Archaeology and Art History, directed the first American archaeological excavation on the island of Sardinia, and research continues to the present day. Since 1979, she organized 18 colloquia on Sardinian archaeology, of which she has published the proceedings of four.

She received a Fulbright fellowship in 1991-1992 to do research in Sardinia. In 1992 she was presented with a Festschrift on Sardinian archaeology with 41 contributions, not only by scholars from Sardinia, but from other European countries and the U.S. as well, some of them former students with whom she worked there. Also in 1992, she produced a definitive article on Archaeology in Sardinia in the American Journal of Archaeology.

She returned to Sardinia in 2003 for a final visit to meet with colleagues and discuss her contributions to Sardinian archaeology.
