Items related to An Archaeological Autobiography
The author was an amateur field archaeologist until 1949, his profession being a clerk with Barclay's Bank Ltd. His first book, Ancient Burial-Mounds of England, was published in 1936. From 1941-5 he served in Egypt with the R.A.F. where he held a commission in air-photographic interpretation, whilst also finding time to write a book on Egyptian Pyramids (1947). He was with the Victoria County History of Wiltshire 1949-52, when he was appointed Curator in Archaeology and Ethnography at Bristol City Museum - a post which he held until his retirement in 1972. His greatest contribution to field archaeology has been his surveys of the prehistoric and later barrows of much of southern Britain. He has devoted his holidays to the study of pre-Classical tombs in the Mediterranean, his work being summarised in Barrow, Pyramid and Tomb (1975). His other interests are reflected in his books on the coinmints of Bath (1973) and Bristol (1986) and on the Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Britain (1976). These and other activities are described in his Archaeological Autobiography.
