The Wikipedia article of the day for October 28, 2017 is O. G. S. Crawford.
O. G. S. Crawford (28 October 1886 – 28 November 1957) was a British archaeologist who specialised in the study of prehistoric Britain and the archaeology of Sudan. After overseeing the excavation of Abu Geili in Sudan, he served during the First World War in the London Scottish Regiment and the Royal Flying Corps, performing ground and aerial reconnaissance along the Western Front. After the war, he obtained aerial photographs produced by the Royal Air Force and identified the extent of the Stonehenge Avenue, excavating it in 1923. With the archaeologist Alexander Keiller he conducted an aerial survey of many counties in southern England and raised the finances to secure land around Stonehenge for The National Trust. In 1927 he established the scholarly journal Antiquity, which drew contributions from many of Britain’s most prominent archaeologists, and in 1939 he served as president of The Prehistoric Society. His contributions to British archaeology, including in Antiquity and the field of aerial archaeology, have been widely acclaimed, and his photographic archive has remained useful to archaeologists into the 21st century.
