British Archaeology Abroad, 1963

Extract

We invited the Directors of the British Schools of Archaeology and History abroad to give us a short account of the works of their schools during 1963, as they kindly did for us in 1962 (ANTIQUITY, 1963, 36). We print these in the order of the establishment of the schools, namely Athens (1886), Rome (1901), Jerusalem (1919), Iraq (1932), Ankara (1948), East Africa (1960) and Iran (1961). We are this year, and we hope in future years, adding to this list a report on the work of the Egypt Exploration Society, which, though it has no school in the form of bricks and mortar, yet antedates all the others by three years, in the form of the Egypt Exploration Fund founded in 1883.
