It still leads excavations both within Britain and overseas. Over time, information about ongoing excavations will be made available on The British Museum web pages. This web page is really intended to provide people with general information about archaeology. There is a full-time Archaeology Officer in the Education Department, available to answer queries on a wide range of archaeological issues. The Museum hosts a variety of events relevant to archaeology, and a special emphasis is being placed on the provision of resources for A-level Archaeology.

    Jacquetta Hawkes
    by Paul Bahn
    Jacquetta Hawkes, who has died aged 85, was one of the foremost popularisers of archaeology, who produced a whole series of syntheses, atlases and guidebooks which combined accuracy of fact with clarity of thought and great elegance of expression. Her book on Sir Mortimer Wheeler is also one of the best archaeological biographies. I was fortunate enough to collaborate on her last archaeological volume, The Shell Guide to British Archaeology - and certainly one of the perks of the job was getting to know her and her husband, the remarkable JB Priestley, at their spectacular home, Kissing Tree House near Stratford. In the end she had to pass me a far greater proportion of the book than had been expected, as her husband s worsening illness occupied more of her time - he died in 1984. My first stay at the house was a daunting experience, as I tried to make conversation over dinner with these formidable intellects without appearing stupid - after all they knew everyone, had been everywhere and done everything. But they rapidly put me at my ease. I remember asking Jacquetta, in my ignorance, if she had ever done much work on the Palaeolithic period, and she replied that she had not, `although I did find the Tabun skull' (one of the most famous Neanderthal skulls). After dinner I sat between them, watching television in the massive study, with its floor-to-ceiling books, grand piano and enormous desks - their two favourite shows were

    British Archaeology , no 21, February 1997: Obituary
    Martyn Jope
    by Thomas McNeill
    Martyn Jope had three overlapping careers in archaeology, as a medievalist, in the Iron Age, and as a campaigner for the deployment of laboratory disciplines in the subject. In all three he achieved great distinction, recognised by professorships at two universities and fellowships of the British and Royal Irish Academies. His first achievements were as a medievalist, for he was one of two or three scholars who established the study of the period after 1066 as a core part of archaeology, with pioneering urban and rural excavations and a whole series of regional studies of pottery in the 1950s. He included the Middle Ages from the first in his courses at the Queen's University of Belfast, where he founded the department of which he was made professor in 1963. He worked to integrate science into archaeology, with the foundation of the Palaeoecology Centre at Belfast, and the Department of Archaeological Sciences at Bradford, where he was made visiting professor in 1974. He published a series of articles on the Iron Age, building towards a volume on the art of the British Isles. The archaeology of all periods in Ireland, and Ulster in particular, was changed totally by his standards, methods and breadth of vision. He was never a household name, even within the world of archaeology. This was because he never wanted to be and because of how he worked. His genius was to see the significance of a site or an object in its context and use it to explain the whole social world of those who made it or who paid for it. With people, he would show them their opportunity and leave them to make of it what they could. He would not interfere with them and he expected them not to interfere with him, unless they had an idea worth discussing. He refused to waste time on publicising himself on the conference circuit or elsewhere - he left that to his writings.

    OBITUARY
    Leslie Grinsell
    by Paul Ashbee
    Leslie Grinsell, though an amateur archaeologist most of his life, to a great extent determined the direction of field archaeology in the second half of this century. He came to prehistory via the classification of flint implements, but soon turned to barrows, long and round. With rucksack, maps, notebook and tape, he had by 1941, when he produced The Bronze Age Round Barrows of Wessex , made inventories of Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, scrutinising some 6,000 barrows. His widely acclaimed book The Ancient Burial Mounds of England , which outlined numbers, forms, and regional distributions, had been published in 1936. In 1941 he became a Pilot Officer in the Air Photographic Branch of the RAF. Posted to Egypt, his sparse spare time was devoted to a succinct account of the pyramids. After the war he left Barclays Bank, for whom he had worked as a bank clerk since 1925, and became the Devizes professional archaeologist, producing the magisterial gazeteer volume of the Victoria County History of Wiltshire . He was Treasurer of the Prehistoric Society from 1947-1970, and his financial skills secured its post-war reconstruction and rise to eminence.

    Back to archive home page Spotlight on Archaeology. Gone a bit Lara? Fancy yourself as a digger on Time Team? Want a job that could have you: working all over the world; in a museum; in a war zone; digging holes in the ground with nothing more than a trowel and a toothbrush? Interested in being part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for directly giving the world a clearer view of its history? If the answer to any of these is yes, a career in archaeology could be for you. Archaeology is the study of the material remains and environmental effects of human behaviour: evidence which can range from buried cities to microscopic organisms and covers all periods from the origins of humans millions of years ago to the remains of 20th and 21st century industry and warfare. It provides us with the only source of information about many aspects of our development. Milestones such as the beginning of agriculture, the origin of towns, or the discovery of metals, can only be understood through the examination of physical evidence. Archaeology also provides essential information for periods of the past for which written records survive. Archaeology links with many subjects, including geography, history, social sciences, maths, physics, biology, chemistry, art, religion, and technology.

    British Archaeology , no 9, November 1995: Interview
    Simon Denison talks to David Miles
    Keep the stories rolling in
    It is not uncommon to hear field archaeologists say that `there's not much going on in archaeology' any more. They tell you that in the era of developer-funded archaeology, historical inquiry has more or less died. It is a response you rarely get from the Oxford Archaeological Unit. Instead, its Director, David Miles, will typically run off five or six interesting current projects; and as a result, the Oxford Unit is probably cited more often in national newspapers - and in British Archaeology - than any other outfit save English Heritage. Recent work has included the redating of the Uffington White Horse, the tracing of continuous occupation at Yarnton from the Neolithic to the present, the conservation battle over development at Tewkesbury, and this month the discovery of possible Bronze Age bridges at Eton. How do they do it? Some units condemn them as `highly predatory', and it is true that the Oxford Unit operates in about 20 counties, hunting out interesting work wherever it may occur, and selling themselves to get it. Yet Oxford's media success also has, I suspect, much to do with the interpretive flair and salesmanship of the Director himself. David Miles is unusual among archaeologists in that he would quite happily not be one love the subject though he undoubtedly does. He is equally interested in interior design, textiles, art and architecture, novels and poetry. For years he wrote a gardening column in the
