Abstract
From Antiquarian to Archaeologist brings together fourteen of Tim Murray’s papers on the history, philosophy and sociology of archaeology published over two decades. The volume displays many of the common characteristics of collected papers: both strengths such as convenience and the drawing out of common threads, and weaknesses such as overlap and repetition. In volumes of this kind there are inevitably a mixture of well known and less well known papers: Murray’s study of the Ancient Monuments Protection Act is anthologised and widely cited; whereas his chapter on Archbishop Ussher’s chronology has hitherto been buried in Leo Klejn’s intimidatingly Cyrillicheavy festschrift.
