A Tribute
' Will you British never learn.' a senior official in the Indian Home Department moaned in 1943. ' You are now sending some bloody Brigadier to run our archaeology department.' He was greeted by the reply, ' The bloody Brigadier, as you call him, is one of the most distinguished archaeologists alive.'
This riposte came from Glyn Daniel , now Disney Professor of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, who was a close friend and colleague of Sir Mortimer. He reflects on the man who brought archaeology to life for millions, and who died on 22 July this year.
