| This obituary for John Pendlebury, the British archaeologist who took part in excavations at Tell el Amarna in Egypt, at Knossos and at Tzermiado in Lassithi, focuses both on the milestones in his life and work as an archaeologist and writer, and on his part in the Cretan resistance at the beginning of World War II, when he laid down his life defending operations by Greek military forces and the British military mission. |
