A huge loss. Roy Hodson was our first gender archaeologist in British Iron Age studies, using complex seriation at Hallstatt to determine that status (grave wealth) was not gendered. His work in 1964, on British insularity (against invasionist thinking) another classic. A great mind, methodologist.
Welwyn Archaeological SocietySad to hear of the passing of Roy Hodson, pioneering user of #statistical methods in #archaeology. Although we only met in passing quite some time ago, his work forms the foundations of much quantitative archaeology and an important part of the @uclarchaeology.bsky.social 's history. RIP.
