    RALEGH RADFORD Pictured in 1957, in front of the ruins of the church at Glastonbury Abbey (Somerset). Reproduced with permission of English Heritage: NMR GLA/Pub/1/2. Courtenay Arthur Ralegh Radford 1900–1998 C. A. RALEGH RADFORD was one of the major figures of archaeology in the mid-twentieth century: his intellectual contribution to the discipline is rated by some as being comparable to giants such as Mortimer Wheeler, Christopher Hawkes and Gordon Childe.1 Radford is credited with help- ing to shape the field of medieval archaeology and in particular with inaug- urating study of the ‘Early Christian’ archaeology of western Britain. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1956, awarded honorary doctorates from the universities of Wales (1963), Glasgow (1963) and Exeter (1973) and the Gold Medal of the Society of Antiquaries (1972).2 Forty or fifty years ago, his influence on archaeological scholarship and policy was profound; in 1980 and 1990, his eightieth and ninetieth birth- days were affectionately celebrated by Festschriften.3 Yet today, few stu- dents of medieval archaeology are likely to have heard of him.4 By current standards, he published relatively little and many of his theories have been challenged by subsequent generations. What, then, is Radford’s intellectual legacy to archaeology? Why has his influence apparently been short-lived? 1 A. Saunders, ‘Ralegh Radford’, The Independent (8 Jan. 1999). 2 Who’s Who & Who Was Who, 2012: <http://www.ukwhoswho.com>.

  • The Ventris Papers

    The Ventris Papers

    THE VENTRIS PAPERS MICHAEL VENTRIS (1922 – 1956) Michael Ventris died at the age of thirty-four on 6th September 1956 in a road accident. His discovery in 1952 that the Linear B texts of Knossos, Pylos and Mycenae were written in an early form of Greek ranks as one of the most brilliant achievements of scholarship. Although Ventris trained and practised as an architect, he had a remarkable gift for languages ancient and modern. As a schoolboy he had been inspired to study the undeciphered scripts of the Aegean Bronze Age after meeting Sir Arthur Evans, excavator of Knossos. His first attempt at reading Linear B (as Etruscan) was published at the age of 18. Ventris’s now-famous announcement on the BBC Third Programme that Linear B was Greek swiftly led to collaboration with John Chadwick, a young Cambridge philologist. This ultimately resulted in the 1956 publication, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, which remains the starting-point for all studies of Linear B texts. The association of Michael Ventris with the Institute of Classical Studies goes back to the founding of the Institute in 1953–54, when a special research seminar on the ‘Minoan’ language was established. Ventris addressed the first meeting of the seminar, which — 50 years on — continues to flourish as the Mycenaean Seminar, a leading international forum for Aegean prehistory. The Michael Ventris Memorial Fund was established in 1957 by the Institute of Classical Studies and the Architectural Association School to foster the work of young scholars, working in the fields of Mycenaean studies and architects. Further details of the award for Mycenaean Studies are available through the Institute’s web-site: http://icls.sas.ac.uk/institute/awards/michael_ventris.html The Ventris Papers were given to the Institute in 1988, following the death of Lois Ventris (Michael’s widow) in 1988.
