Clark's many excavations included the discovery and exploration from the 1950s of the stratified sequence at Kalambo Falls, a single-drop 722ft waterfall on the frontier between Zambia and Tanzania.
Grahame Clark's interest in paleoecology and his view that, without understanding man's habitat, it is impossible to understand his behaviour, inspired Desmond Clark to specialise in prehistoric archaeology.
Clark published a continuous flow of research papers, reports and textbooks, notably The Prehistory of Africa (1970), Atlas of African Prehistory (1967) and Volume I of the Cambridge History of Africa, which he edited.

 Sixth Emeritus Lecture Honoring J. Desmond Clark - Biographical Information - J. Desmond Clark, by Fred Wendorf
Clark was an active participant in the congress; he gave a major paper on his work in Somalia (Clark 1952), he made numerous friends among others working in Africa, and he was chosen to be an assistant secretary of the congress.
Clark gave a notable public lecture in which he discussed differences that might be expected in an environment with 20 inches more rainfall than today and in an environment with 20 inches less rainfall, and he outlined the possible effects of such changes on tool kits at various stages in the cultural sequence.
Clark (1962, 1964, 1967b) had long supported the view that the spread of agriculture was related to changes in the environment, and he hoped that these Saharan and Nilotic projects would cast light on that question.

 Grahame Clark: An Intellectual Biography Of An Archaeologist
The British archaeologist Grahame Clark was a seminal figure in European and world archaeology for more than half of the twentieth century, but, at the same time, one whose reputation has been outshone by other, more visible luminaries.
Clark became interested in archaeology while at school, studied the subject at Cambridge University, and completed a groundbreaking doctorate on the Mesolithic cultures of Britain in 1931.
Clark became Disney Professor of Public Archaeology at Cambridge in 1952 and influenced an entire generation of undergraduates to become archaeologists in all parts of the world.

This medal was endowed in 1992 by Professor Sir Grahame Clark, a Fellow of the Academy from 1951 to his death in 1995, who wished by it that distinguished achievements involving recent contributions to the study of prehistoric archaeology should be acknowledged.
The award of the Grahame Clark Medal is thus a doubly appropriate acknowledgement of Dr Wymer’s outstanding contribution to the study of early humans in the Old World.
As the acknowledged leader of the prehistory of an entire continent, he is a worthy recipient of the Grahame Clark medal for Prehistory.

Grahame Clark was undoubtedly a seminal figure in the development of British and World archaeology.
Elsewhere, Fagan writes that 'Clark's emerging ecological approach was part of his growing awareness of the complex interrelationships between human culture and the natural environment.
At the time of his retirement, one of Clark's proudest possessions was a map of the world with coloured pins showing the location of Cambridge graduates 'as far afield as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States'.

 JAR Tribute to J. Desmond Clark
Desmond Clark was the towering figure who in the 1960s, together with Clark Howell, co-founded the holistic, interdisciplinary field of paleoanthropology and was one its premier practitioners for over 60 years, with indefatigable and seminal field research not only throughout Africa, but also in Syria, India and China.
The list of Clark’s publications is non-pareil; they cover Africa from Tropic to Tropic (and beyond), ranging in subject matter from ethnoarcheological to paleontological, from lithic to ceramic, from Oldowan to Iron Age.
In 1961, Clark became Professor in the Anthropology Department of the University of California at Berkeley, which would become one of the world’s leading programs in paleoanthropology and African prehistory.

To chronicle the intellectual life of Grahame Clark (1907-1995) is to participate in the history of the discipline of archaeology, which Clark almost single-handedly at first transformed from an antiquarian pastime based largely on artifact classification into a sophisticated study of the human past based on collaborations among scientists from many disciplines.

 50 Years of Discovery
In northeastern England, Grahame Clark of Cambridge University excavated from 1949 to 1951 at Star Carr, a tiny hunting stand, uncovering an inconspicuous timber platform stratified in peat deposits on the shores of a former glacial lake.
In a brilliant, trend-setting excavation, Clark reconstructed the site's environmental setting, placing the human occupants there during a time when birch forests covered the region.
Clark's work is still esteemed, although researchers have used new techniques such as accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating and dendrochronology based on European oaks to date the site, and even individual occupation episodes, to within a few years.

His famous excavation of the Stone Age hunter-gatherer site of Star Carr was a tour de force of environmental archaeology.
Clark also broke British prehistory out of its entrenched provincialism to consider Britain within the context of Mesolithic Europe and, eventually, global prehistory.
