A. J. Arkell
Anthony John Arkell (29 July 1898 – 26 February 1980), known as A. J. Arkell, was a British archaeologist and colonial administrator noted for his work in the Sudan and Egypt.
==Biography==
Arkell was born in Hinxhill, Kent, England. He saw service with the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force in World War I before joining the Sudan Political Service in 1920. A former official of the British colonial government, Arkell conducted several surveys, documenting among other things: the existence of massive iron works in Meroe, which he dubbed "the Birmingham of Africa", and the extensive pre-dynastic culture of Egypt, notably the Badarians. Arkell was instrumental in ending the slave trade between the Sudan and Ethiopia, and in establishing villages for the freed slaves, who named themselves "the Sons of Arkell". In 1938, he was appointed commissioner for archaeology and anthropology and undertook a series of digs that revealed information about Sudanese prehistory for the first time. In 1948, he became the curator of the Flinders Petrie Collection of Egyptian Antiquities and professor of Egyptology at University College, University of London, where he catalogued the collection and wrote his ''History of the Sudan'' (1955).
Arkell retired in 1963 and was ordained a minister. He died in Chelmsford at the age of eighty-one.
