   British archaeologist, administrator, and writer.

He subsequently worked on a number of prehistoric sites, such as Tell Arpachiya, Chaggar Bazar, and Tell Brak. After World War II, he taught Western Asiatic Archaeology at the University of London and directed the British School of Archaeology in Iraq, working at Nimrud (Kalhu) from 1949 to 1957.
