Missionary and archaeologist. Born in Britain, Jones was ordained in 1909 and was appointed a missionary at Hope Fountain near Bulawayo in 1912. His archaeological interests began to develop with his discovery of an important Early Stone Age site at the Mission the following year and he went on to play the leading role in the early development of Stone Age archaeology in Zimbabwe. He discovered then excavated at Bambata Cave in 1919 (Arnold & Jones 1919) and returned there in 1929 in collaboration with A.I. Armstrong and at the invitation of the University of Cape Town and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. He was the first archaeologist to identify the Middle Stone Age in Zimbabwe, but also worked in South Africa, excavating at key Iron Age site of Mapungubwe in 1933 (Fouche 1937). In 1936 he was appointed Keeper of Prehistory of the National Museum of Southern Rhodesia and his collections formed the initial basis of its archaeological exhibits. He was largely responsible for the creation of the Southern Rhodesian Monuments Commission, as well as the author of the first overall surveys of Zimbabwean prehistory (N.Jones 1926, 1949). He served as President of the South African Archaeological Society 1953-54.<br />
