Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Sign for The Museum In 1880 Lieutenant General Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt-Rivers inherited the Rushmore Estate from his cousin, the last Lord Rivers. It contained a large number of archaeological monuments. He had already established himself as a leading expert on archaeological excavation methods and now devoted much of his last twenty years to undertaking fieldwork designed to examine the earthworks on his new estate. The results of his digs in Cranborne Chase were published in four large volumes between 1887 and 1898, and mark the beginning of modern archaeological techniques in Britain. He is considered to be the 'father' of English archaeology. His portrait adorns the pub sign. |
