Childe, Vere Gordon

Childe, Vere Gordon
(1892-1957)
Born in Australia, Childe became professor successively in the Universities of Edinburgh and London, and was a leading figure in mid-twentieth-century archaeology. Known for his Marxist emphasis on the importance of the economy, Childe nevertheless also stressed the importance of society and culture, rather than artefacts. He was a great popularizer of archaeology, particularly through his well-written comparative accounts of human prehistory, such as Man Makes Himself (1956).
