Gerald Dunning
Gerald Clough Dunning (20 December 1905 – 16 April 1978) was a pioneering scholar in the development of medieval British archaeology.〔Obituary in ''The Times'', 28 April 1978〕 His most significant contribution was in the study of post-Conquest pottery; he was largely responsible for establishing the first chronological framework by which different types of English ceramics could be dated. His work has been described as 'visionary' and 'seminal'. It has been noted that Dunning didn't achieve the profile of some of his peers due to the fact that he didn't write a text-book on either medieval pottery in particular or on medieval archaeology in general, but concentrated on writing articles for academic journals and encouraged the research interests of others, however John Hurst argued that, '...we should regard Gerald Dunning as the main founding father of medieval archaeology as we know it today in the last quarter of the 20th Century'.〔 〕〔John Hurst, "Gerald Dunning and His Contribution to Medieval Archaeology", ''Bulletin of the Medieval Pottery Research Group'', Vol. 6 (1982), pp. 1-20, at p. 15. 〕
