"First to make a career as a paid excavation employee"?

[edit]

Perhaps Wikipedians knowledgeable about the history of archeology in England could comment on the now-removed paragraph: "Although described as an 'amateur archaeologist', Brown's was among the first to make a career as a paid excavation employee for a provincial museum. Although this was his second career and was interrupted by the War, it spanned more than thirty years".

Brown was appointed as a part-time excavator by Ipswich Museum in 1935. Prior to this, archeologists in the U.K. had already been appointed to paid positions as university professors (e.g. Cambridge, since 1851) and museum curators. August Pitt-Rivers became the U.K.'s "first professional field archeologist" when he was appointed the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments in 1882 (Donald Henson (2012). Doing Archaeology: A Subject Guide for Students, p.25). DocDee (talk) 06:28, 18 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
