John Robert Mortimer (15 June 1825 – 19 August 1911) was an English corn-merchant and archaeologist who lived in Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire.<br />He established a dedicated museum of archaeology at Driffield, one of the first of its kind. His excavations represent early examples of the application of scientific methods to the study of burial mounds; his written work and excavated finds remain a valuable resource in British archaeology.<br /><br />Born Fimber, Yorkshire; died Driffield. Scientific interests aroused by 1851 Great Exhibition. Work confined almost exclusively to Yorkshire Wolds on whose archaeology and geology he published extensively. Created museum in Driffield which closed and his collections are in Hull.<br />
