		Colin A. Renfrew, Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn, and until October 2004 Professor of Archaeology and Director of the McDonald Institute for Archeological Research at the University received the Balzan Prize for Prehistoric Archeology.

		Lord Renfrew earned his reputation as a researcher with his excavations on the Cycladic island of Antiparos and the Orkneys off the northern coast of Scotland.

	the Rindos/UWA Case - the Campus Review, Feb 4-10, 1998
		Lord Renfrew -- director of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at Cambridge University - said he believed the actions of the university consituted "one of the most flagrant cases of academic injustice" he had seen in recent decades.
		Lord Renfrew said he had followed the affair and had spoken to Rindos before his death.
		Lord Renfrew said he realised part of the issue was the amount of work Rindos was producing while at the university -- the book on the origins of agriculture was an earlier one -- but that "once he got enmeshed in all this strife within the department it became a very difficult working environment".

	EDGE 24
		Much of Colin Renfrew's early work was in the field of European prehistory, looking at processes of culture change, and he came to realize that many of the diffusionist ideas current in the fifties and sixties were based on assumptions which undervalued the originality and the creativity of the cultures of prehistoric Europe.
		RENFREW: In the field of genetics it certainly has, and indeed it's interesting that most of the difficulties in interpretation rise not from the analytical techniques in the molecular biology, but once you get your measures of similarity and distance, from how you handle that.
		RENFREW: It shows, for instance, that at the beginning of the neolithic period, the beginning of farming in the Near East, just about everywhere was in contact with everywhere else.

		Lord McIntosh of Haringey, for the government, anticipated a rise in prosecutions from the measure, which would make "those who would propose to trade in illegal objects think again".

		Lord Renfrew: I think this is one of the occasions, a rather happy occasion, when a Conservative spokesman has to congratulate the Government on what it achieved with VAT to cathedrals and churches which I think is terrific.
		Lord Redesdale: Just adding on that, I think there has been a slight omission as well on the national museums, their being exempt from VAT and one thing I would ask the Minister to raise is that it appears that university museums have been omitted under this.

		Lord Renfrew, Disney Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge University, would argue that art, like genetic research on brain development, does not tell the whole story of our cultural origins.
		Lord Renfrew suggests that the accepted 40,000 year threshold for artistic activity must therefore be questioned and points out that either side of this threshold — the boundary between the Middle and Upper Paleolithic — people lived in much the same way.
		Lord Renfrew suggests that these were the catalysts that created the true ‘modern mind’.
