Favourite memory of Don from early 1970's at Institute of Archaeology was a class visit to BMNH with Don driving departmental Land Rover. The indicators failed in London traffic so at the shout "left" all those on the left side stuck their arms out of the windows and similarly for "right". He was an inspirational undergraduate teacher and I was privileged to have Don as PhD external examiner many years later.

Dear Zooarchers,

I have just heard news that make me immensely sad and I know I will be joined in that feeling by many of you.

Don Brothwell has died.

He was great man - kind, generous, visionary and a truly intellectual. His contribution to archaeology has been gigantic.

Please do write your thoughts and tributes on this list.

Thanks,
Umberto
