Phillips was educated at Bowdoin College and Princeton University. At Princeton he studied with Erik Sjöqvist. In 1962 he also joined the faculty of Bryn Mawr College. Having excavated with the Princeton team at Morgantina in Sicily, Phillips decided to start a new project. Based on advice from Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli, Phillips embarked on the excavation of an Etruscan center at Poggio Civitate near Murlo, Siena in 1966. Here Phillips discovered a monumental complex whose interpretation remains controversial, despite ongoing fieldwork. In 1994 a monograph entitled Murlo and the Etruscans. Art and society in Ancient Etruria appeared in Phillips's honor. The book, which has many contributions by Etruscologists, includes a list of his publications and a posthumously published article.
