Francis Buckley (archaeologist)

Francis Buckley (1881-1948) was a British Army officer and archaeologist whose work helped in the development of Mesolithic studies. His work on collecting, recording and classifying findings, marked an early use of scientific techniques.[1][2][3][4]

Many items from his wide collection were donated to Gallery Oldham between 1926 and 1948.[5]
