I suspect this requires some one to investigate the archives of Newcastle
University to discover what R. F. Tylecote's title was, or perhaps when he
was promoted to reader. There is a biography at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_F._Tylecote but unfortunately it does
not give that information. Possibly the information may be available in a
biographic note attached to one of his publications.

Archaeology II. Pittsburgh: Materials Research Society, pp. 705-712.
in this paper, Martha cites Beno Rothenberg as the source of the term when
he created the "Institute of Archeo-Metallurgical Studies" at UCL. Someone
could contact Beno and see if he remembers where the term came from...

Martha Goodway did some research into this and came up with Beno as the
source. I don't have her contact info here but she is still working at the
Smithsonian MCI.

R.F. Tylecote became Reader in Archaeometallurgy (from lecturer) at
Newcastle University sometime between 1953 and 1976. I think he probably
invented the word to describe the work he was doing.
