Archaeology Night on BBC4 - 1man1desk - 23rd October 2007

Quote:quote:Mortimer Wheeler seemed mad as a brush, no mention of his ... cutting comments on Indians.

Don't know about those comments, but worth mentioning in that context that, as I understand it, at independence both India and Pakistan begged him to stay on as head of their antiquities service, suggesting that they held him in high regard.

He turned India down on the grounds that they had sufficient well-trained Indians to take over, and accepted Pakistan's offer on the condition that they immediately started training his (Pakistani) successor. That does suggest a degree of respect for Indians and Pakistanis, to me.

In one book I read as an under-grad he is quoted describing them as "miserable bifurcated radishes", whatever that means, like I say mad as a brush.

Does anybody have a transcript of this bit when Wheeler is talking about the dancer girl statue, could really use it in my research.

Mortimer Wheeler seemed mad as a brush, no mention of his celebrity wife-beater status or cutting comments on Indians. Particularly enjoyed his description of the naked dancing girl statue, "Yes, a girl of fifteen..."

Careful, it might be hallucinogEeEe**33nnnn..
