Leonard Woolley on Digging Up the Past

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Leonard Woolley on Digging Up the Past Wednesday 17 April 2024 is the 144th anniversary of the birth of Sir Charles Leonard Woolley, better known to posterity as C. Leonard Woolley (17 April 1880 – 20 February 1960), who was born on the outskirts of London on this day in 1880. Woolley was the archaeologist who was chosen as Field Director for the joint University of Pennsylvania and British Museum excavation at Ur, and in this position he oversaw the recovery of some of the greatest treasures of the ancient world yet discovered. Woolley was an indefatigable worker, known for his long days and nights in the field, and his many popular books and lectures. He lacks the name recognition of Howard Carter, but his finds were of similar significance, and he stands at the head of archaeologists who have and are increasingly shaping our understanding of the past.
