THE fame of the excavations at Verulamium, by St. Albans, has been widespread. They were visited by many thousands, and accounts were constantly disseminated by the lay Press, as well as by technical journals. Dr. and Mrs. Wheeler have done more than anyone else to create a great and genuine popular interest in the archaeology of Great Britain. They have proved once and for all that English people do not need the enchantment of Egyptian or Mesopotamian distance to stimulate their enthusiasm for the unearthing of the past. Under the care of the Office of Works, and, in the case of the theatre, through the generosity of Lord Verulam, the remains of important buildings on the site are now permanently open to view, and the enlightened action of the St. Albans Corporation in initiating the whole enterprise will doubtless be maintained and extended in the future. The success of the work has been a fine example of co-operation between local and national authorities, private owners, archaeologists, volunteer students, and the general public. Now the official report, worthily published by the Society of Antiquaries, is before us as the abiding record of the whole four years' campaign. It is no less an abiding reminder of the irreparable loss that we have sustained a few months since in Mrs. Wheeler's grievously premature death.

Inspired by Schliemann's discoveries at Mycenae and Troy, Sir Arthur John Evans (1851-1941), keeper of Oxford's Ashmolean Museum from 1884 to 1908, trustee of the British Museum and fellow of the Royal Society, used his inherited wealth to purchase land in Crete at Knossos. From 1900 he commenced excavations there in co-operation with the British School at Athens. Work continued for eight full seasons, uncovering a Bronze Age palace and bringing to light further architectural and artefactual remains of Minoan civilisation, including numerous texts in Linear A and Linear B. Evans' speculative reconstruction of the site in reinforced concrete remains controversial, and some of his interpretations are disputed, but his work was pioneering and published in several volumes between 1921 and 1935. The index to this monumental achievement, published in 1936, was the result of a painstaking collaboration with his half-sister, Dame Joan Evans (1893-1977).
