NOTEBOOKS: Wace Excavations

1920-23 (Wace x001 to x020) AJBW kept a small running continuous notebook (brown cloth) with measurements and very rough notes; every week he (or in his absence Blegen or Boëthius) wrote a tidy account of the week in a medium (16 x 21 cm) notebook. All exist and have been transcribed for some key areas.

W. Lamb and C. Boëthius kept medium notebooks (mainly on the Chamber Tombs) which are in the Archive (presumably because A. J. B. Wace used them to write up the tombs). Other notebooks for this period, by W. Lamb and W. Heurtley, are held by the BSA Archive.

1939: (x021 to x025) A. J. B. Wace and all the main site supervisors kept notes in medium sized books. N.B. No architect’s book held in this Archive.

1950: (Wace x026, x027, x036 to x040, x064) A. J. B. Wace and all the site supervisors kept notes in small black leatherette notebooks. Except for those of Alan Rowe and John Cook, all are in the archive. Dorothea Gray kept a rough notebook which she later copied into a neat version; both exist in this archive.

1951: (Wace x041) Thin white notebook by Sinclair Hood.
