Cyril Fox : archaeologist extraordinary

"Cyril Fox was one of that pioneering band of early twentieth century men that includes Crawford and Wheeler who, following in the footsteps of Abercromby and Pitt-Rivers, brought archaeology out of the grasp of a few antiquarians and treasure seekers into the public domain. What set Fox apart from the archaeologists of his day and those that followed him was the totality of his wide-ranging professional interests and creative scholarship in subjects as diverse as prehistoric and Dark Age archaeology, historical geography and vernacular architecture."--Jacket
