The Elgin Marbles
A J B Humphreys, Christopher HitchensARTICLEThe South African Archaeological…1988Cited by: 8
The Elgin Marbles, designed and executed by Phidias to adorn the Parthenon, are some of the most beautiful sculptures of ancient Greece. In 1801 Lord Elgin, then British ambassador to the Turkish government in Athens, had pieces of the frieze sawn off and removed to Britain, where they remain, igniting a storm of controversy which has continued to the present day. In the first full-length work on this fiercely debated issue, Christopher Hitchens …

The Role of Raw Material and the Concept of the Fauresmith
A J B HumphreysARTICLEThe South African Archaeological…1970Cited by: 11
This paper is an attempt to get at the root of the development of the concept of the Fauresmith. Much has been said and written about this concept and it has become spread from the Cape to Kenya. This spread and the continued use of the term has been the result of intuitive comparisons between 'diagnostic tools' which have been considered 'typical' of the Fauresmith occurring in widely separated assemblages. No attempt has been made to describe t…
