Ivor Noël Hume
Ivor Noël Hume, OBE (born 1927, London) is a British-born archaeologist in the United States. A former director of Colonial Williamsburg’s archaeological research program and the author of more than 20 books, he has been heralded by his peers as the "father of historical archaeology".〔Noël Hume himself, however, attributes the sobriquet "father of historical archaeology in America" to his mentor, J.C. Harrington. See: Noël Hume, Ivor (1994), "Roanoke Island: America's First Science Center", ''Colonial Williamsburg: The Journal of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation'' (Spring issue).〕
==Biography==
Noël Hume studied at Framlingham College, Suffolk and St. Lawrence College, Kent, in England, spent a short stint in the British Army during World War II, and as an assistant stage manager for a London theater, before deciding to pursue archaeology as a career and joining the staff of Guildhall Museum in London where he worked from 1949 to 1957. His early speciality was 17th and 18th century wine bottles. He became chief archaeologist and director of the expanded Colonial Williamsburg archaeology program in 1957〔Noël Hume, Ivor (1982), ''Martin's Hundred'', Alfred A. Knopf.〕 and served in that capacity for the next three decades.
Noël Hume discovered and excavated the 17th century site of Wolstenholme Towne, at Carter's Grove Plantation just east of Williamsburg.〔See the two articles in ''National Geographic'' magazine: June 1979 and January 1982.〕 Wolstenholme at Martin's Hundred was one of the early Virginia settlements after Jamestown and evidence of the 1622 Indian attack was found in the deaths of several of the citizens. Major excavations in Colonial Williamsburg included work at the original site of Eastern State Hospital, conducted in 1972 — which was the largest site work since the excavation of the Governor's Palace in 1930 — the James Geddy House and shop, Weatherburn's Tavern and outbuildings and the cabinetmakers shop. Noël Hume retired as Director of the Department of Archaeological Research at Colonial Williamsburg in 1988. In retirement, he directed an excavation (1991–92) at the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, and discovered Thomas Harriot's 1585-86 "science center" there.〔Noël Hume, Ivor (1994), ''Op. cit.''.〕
