| Notes | Arthur Maurice Woodward (1883 – 1973) was born in Liverpool and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. He came to the BSA in 1906, and returned the next two years before becoming the Assistant Director in 1909 and 1922, both times for a year. After this second turn as AD, Woodward held the position of Director from 1923-1929. In the UK, Woodward worked at multiple institutions, eventually becoming head of the Department of Ancient History at the University of Sheffield. During the first world war, Woodward served in the British Army and earned the Greek Order of the Redeemer. Eily Mary Heurtley (née O'Connell, unknown – 1961) was an Irish woman who married Walter Heurtley in 1915. She likely joined him at the BSA during his tenure as Assistant Director. Effie de Jong (née Skinner) married Piet de Jong in 1921. She accompanied him on many projects. Piet Christiaan Leonardus de Jong (1887 – 1967) was born in Leeds and educated as an architect at the Leeds Institute of Science, Art, and Literature. In 1920, de Jong joined the BSA's Mycenae excavations as an architect and illustrator. This was the beginning of a long career of recording and reconstructing many famous sites in the Mediterranean, including the Knossos palace under Sir Arthur Evans. De Jong had a long relationship with the BSA, acting as the school's official architect for a period of time. Walter Abel Heurtley (1882 – 1955) was educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and received a Diploma of Archaeology from Oxford. He joined the BSA in 1921 and returned the following year. Heurtley also served as Assistant Director and Librarian of the school. In World War I, he worked for the Geographic Section of the Admiralty. |
