- Director of archaeology at Colonial Williamsburg,.
- He was an archaeologist in England before coming to Williamsburg, Virginia. In 1957 he became the chief archaeologist of Virginia's former colonial capital. He led efforts that unearthed some of the town's most important 18th-century buildings.
- His interest in archaeology grew as he went "mud-larking" along the banks of the Thames, collecting old coins, pottery and other relics. He was a volunteer and later an assistant curator at the Guildhall Museum. When the director resigned in 1949, he took over and continued his archaeological work, becoming an authority on English pottery and bottles. In 1950, he met an archaeologist from the U.S. National Park Service, which led to a visit to Williamsburg as a consultant.
