	Pitt Rivers Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The museum was founded in 1884 by General Augustus Pitt Rivers, who donated his collection to the University of Oxford with the condition that a permanent lecturer in anthropology must be appointed.
		This layout owes a lot to the theories of General Pitt Rivers himself, who intended for his collection to show progression in design and evolution in human culture from simple to complex.

	BBC - History - Lieutenant General Augustus Pitt Rivers (1827 - 1900)
		Born at Hope Hall, Yorkshire, Pitt Rivers was known as Augustus Lane Fox until changing his name to Pitt Rivers in the course of inheriting an estate from his great uncle.
		This interest in how artefacts had developed inevitably became an interest in the past, and Pitt Rivers began carrying out some limited excavations while he was still serving in the army, for example when he was in Ireland, in 1862-6.
		It was only natural that Pitt Rivers should become the country's first inspector of ancient monuments, after the passing of Sir John Lubbock's Ancient Monuments Act in 1882.
