Charles Thurstan Shaw
Charles Thurstan Shaw CBE FBA FSA (27 June 1914 - 8 March 2013) 〔("Professor Thurstan Shaw" ), ''The Telegraph'' (UK), 9 March 2013〕 was an English archaeologist, the first trained specialist to work in what was then British West Africa. He specialized in the ancient cultures of present-day Ghana and Nigeria. He helped establish academic institutions including the Ghana National Museum and the archaeology department at the University of Ghana. He began working with the University of Ibadan in 1960, where he later founded and developed its archeology department, which he led for more than 10 years before his retirement in 1974.
His excavations at Igbo-Ukwu, Nigeria revealed a 9th-century indigenous culture that did highly sophisticated work in bronze metalworking, centuries before other sites that were better known at the time of discovery, and independent of any Arab or European influence. He was awarded the C.B.E. in 1972 for his contributions,〔 and in 1989 was made a tribal chief in Nigeria.
In addition, Shaw worked on expanding communications about African archaeology; in 1964, he founded the ''West African Archaeological Newsletter,'' which he edited until 1970; from 1971-1975, he edited the ''West African Journal of Archaeology.''
