Aylward Manley Blackman (30 January 1883 – 9 March 1956)[1] was a British Egyptologist, who excavated various sites in Egypt and Nubian, notably Buhen and Meir.<br />Blackman was born in Dawlish, Devon, the eldest son of Rev. James Henry Blackman and Mary Anne Blackman (née Jacob).[2] He was educated at home and his interest in archaeology was inspired by his father, a keen amateur archaeologist who created archaeological digs by burying home made 'tablets' for his children to discover.[3] Aylward's oldest sister, Winifred Susan Blackman, (1872-1950), also became an Egyptologist.[4] He joined St Paul's School at the age of sixteen and gained a scholarship to study at Queen's College, Oxford. At Oxford, Blackman was a pupil of Francis Llewellyn Griffith, and graduated with a First Class degree in Oriental Studies in 1906.[3]<br />After graduation, Blackman worked in Nubia as an assistant on Reisner's Archaeological Survey of Nubia, 1907-1908, and the excavation of Buhen by the University of Pennsylvania.[3] Blackman also carried out a survey of the temples of Nubia, including the temples at Biga, Dendur, and Derr.[5] He was unable to complete the survey after he suffered a major attack of Typhoid fever at Gerf Hussein, which affected his health for the rest of his life.[3] Due to his research, Blackman was appointed the Oxford Nubian Research Fellow and assisted Griffith in his excavation of Farras.[5]<br />Blackman was the Laycock Fellow of Egyptology at Worcester College, Oxford from 1912-1934. During this period he became closely associated with the Egypt Exploration Society and was a member of the Society's committee for many years.[5] On behalf of the Society, he directed the excavation of Meir, (1912-1914, 1921, 1949-1950) and the excavation of Sesebi, Sudan, (1936-1937).[6]<br />From 1934-1948, he was the Brunner Professor of Egyptology at the University of Liverpool, and taught in the Liverpool Institute of Archaeology. His research during this period was affected by a serious accident in Germany in 1936 which left him hospitalised and a bombing raid in 1941 which destroyed his home and his work place.[3] Despite the set backs, Blackman was able to introduced important changes to the teaching of Egyptology at Liverpool and lead the conversion of the Institute of Archaeology into a properly constituted school of the University.[3] Blackman was also a special lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Manchester, (1936-1948),[5] and the tutor of the Crown Prince of Ethiopia, (1937-1939).[6]<br />After his retirement in 1948, Blackman returned to Meir for one final season and published his research on the site in 1953.[3] He was elected a fellow of the British Academy in 1953.[3]<br />He died in 1956 in Abergele<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
