| biography:
| Archaeologist, born in Kent, SE England, UK. He studied at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he became a fellow (1966–76). His teaching and writing, particularly in Analytical Archaeology (1967), transformed European archaeology in the 1970s. It demonstrated the importance of systems theory, quantification, and scientific reasoning in archaeology, and drew ecology, geography, and comparative anthropology firmly within the ambit of the subject. |
