Sir Max Mallowan, in full Sir Max Edgar Lucien Mallowan, (born May 6, 1904, London, England-died August 19, 1978, Greenway House, Galmpton, Devon), British archaeologist who made major contributions as an excavator and educator.

After receiving a degree in classics at New College, Oxford, he began his long career as a field archaeologist. His excavations were carried out in the Near East, at first as assistant to Sir Leonard Woolley at Ur (1925-30) and to R. Campbell Thompson at Nineveh (1931-1932). He later directed excavations at Tall Arpachiyah, Iraq (1933); Chagar Bazar (1935-37), Tall Birāk (Tell Brak; 1937-38), and the Balīkh Valley (1938), Syria; and Nimrūd (1949-58).

At the British School of Archaeology, Baghdad, Mallowan was director (1947-61), chairman (1966-70), and president (1970-78). He was also professor (1947-62) and emeritus professor of western Asiatic archaeology at the University of London; fellow (1962-71) and emeritus fellow (1976) at All Souls College, Oxford; vice president (1961-62) of the British Academy; president (1961-78) of the British Institute of Persian Studies; and a trustee of the British Museum. He was knighted in 1968.

Mallowan married the novelist and playwright Agatha Christie (later Dame Agatha) in 1930. One year after her death in 1976, he married the archaeologist Barbara Parker. Mallowan's publications include Early Mesopotamia and Iran (1965), Nimrud and Its Remains, 3 vol. (1966), and Elamite Problems (1969). He also contributed (1967-68) to the Cambridge Ancient History and edited (1948-65) the Penguin series on the Near East and western Asia. His autobiography was published as Mallowan's Memoirs (1977).

Arthur Conan Doyle: The man behind Sherlock Holmes | Literature | Showcase

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Conan Doyle is most famous as the inventor of Sherlock Holmes, but he had a varied career as a writer, journalist and public figure.

Arthur Conan Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh into a prosperous Irish family. He trained as a doctor, gaining his degree from Edinburgh University in 1881. He worked as a surgeon on a whaling boat and also as a medical officer on a steamer travelling between Liverpool and West Africa. He then settled in Portsmouth on the English south coast and divided his time between medicine and writing.

Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in 'A Study of Scarlet', published in 'Beeton's Christmas Annual' in 1887. Its success encouraged Conan Doyle to write more stories involving Holmes but, in 1893, Conan Doyle killed off Holmes, hoping to concentrate on more serious writing. A public outcry later made him resurrect Holmes. In addition, Conan Doyle wrote a number of other novels, including 'The Lost World' and various non-fictional works. These included a pamphlet justifying Britain's involvement in the Boer War, for which he was knighted and histories of the Boer War and World War One, in which his son, brother and two of his nephews were killed. Conan Doyle also twice ran unsuccessfully for parliament. In later life he became very interested in spiritualism.

Conan Doyle died of a heart attack on 7 July 1930.
