She participated in fieldwork in Turkey at the sites of Tarsus (1947-1949) and Gordion (1950-1965) and lead excavations at the prehistoric site of Elmali (1963-1970). Professor Mellink was the President of the AIA between 1980 and 1984, and in 1991 was the recipient of the AIA Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement
The Mellink Lectureship was established in 2001. The Mellink Lecturer speaks on a Near Eastern or Aegean topic and visits one Local Society annually.
