Notes From Elsewhere
Osbert Guy Stanhope Crawford (28 October 1886 – 28 November 1957) was an English archaeologist and a pioneer in the use of aerial photographs for deepening archaeological understanding of the landscape.
Born to a wealthy middle-class English family in Bombay, British India, Crawford moved to England as an infant and was raised by his aunts in London and Hampshire. He studied geography at Keble College, Oxford but soon decided to devote himself professionally to archaeology.
