Roma Archaeologists: John Henry Phillips

I was following a Twitter conversation the other day about types of racism, prompted by the Black Lives Matter campaign. Someone mentioned an academic journal in which an article stated that there were no Roma archaeologists. At least three Roma archaeologists commented on the thread, so there are probably more out there.


This is John Henry Phillips, who specialises in Second World War archaeology, though he's also dug on sites of many different periods across Europe. He appeared in the TV documentary No Roses for a Sailor's Grave, and has been a guest on various BBC programmes. He's also a diver.
