Neville Chittick

Dr. Neville H. Chittick (1924 – 1984) was a British scholar and archaeologist. His expeditions and residence in East Africa produced a body of research into the ancient and pre-colonial sites of Aksum, Hafun, Kilwa Kisiwani, and the port of Manda Island. In 1961, after working in Sudan as the director of antiquities[1] and in Tanganyika as the first conservator of antiquities, he was appointed the first director of The British Institute in Eastern Africa in Nairobi serving until 1983.
