Pamela Jane Smith
Professor Grahame Clark
Master of Peterhouse, and Disney Professor of Archaeology for from 1952--1974 in the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge University, Professor Grahame Clark was one of the founders of modern prehistoric archaeology. Among the first to teach archaeology to undergraduates, he was a key figure in the establishment of prehistory as a respected professionalised and institutionalised subject.
Two of my publications which discuss his contributions are now available. " 'A passionate connoisseur of flints' an intellectual biography of the young Grahame Clark based on his pre-war publications". Archaeologia Polonia 37 is not yet on the Web. "Grahame Clark's new archaeology" is published in Antiquity volume 71:11-30.
