From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Summers (1907-2003) was a Zimbabwean archaeologist, who worked for the National Museums and Monuments Commission from 1947 - 1970 and was described as "a major influence in the formative years of Zimbabwean, then. Rhodesian, archaeology".[1] He came into conflict with the Rhodesian government due to his refusal to deny the African origins of Great Zimbabwe.[2] He worked extensively on Great Zimbabwe,[3] Nyanga[4][5] and more generally on the Iron Age in Zimbabwe[6] and on ancient mining in Zimbabwe[7]
