Among academic honours, Stuart Piggott was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1953, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1956.
Stuart Piggott was much admired by his students, who dedicated to him two Festschrift volumes, Studies in Ancient Europe (1968) and To Illustrate the Monuments (1976).

 British Archaeology, no 19, November 1996: Obituary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The death of Stuart Piggott, so soon after Christopher Hawkes and Grahame Clark, means that an entire generation of prehistorians who began their careers in the late 1920s has now passed.
Piggott's contribution was the report on West Kennet, and in his later years he was distressed that Atkinson did not honour his own obligations.
Piggott was one of the most approachable archaeologists of his generation, and undoubtedly one of the most entertaining.

Stuart Piggott focused on Europe, while Sir Ernest Mackay worked in Egypt and later in southwest Asia.
They asserted that the Indus civilisation originated as a result of outside — Mesopotamian — influence, and was centrally organised, ruled by priest-kings who lived in urban citadels and maintained rigid cultural uniformity, propagated animal worship and, perhaps, Brahmanism.
Wheeler and Piggott further claimed that this civilisation was conquered by invading Indo-Aryan armies, which, through time, were culturally and biologically corrupted by indigenous populations into adopting practices such as caste, Brahmanism, Hinduism et al.

 Amazon.com: The Druids (Ancient Peoples and Places Series): Books: Stuart Piggott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
This is not, as so many other books on the topic turn out to be, a romantic description of an ancient people, but rather a history first of the archeological, then the contemporary historical, and finaly the historiographic records of the Druids, who they may have been, and what they may have been about.
Piggott then takes us on to contemporary accounts of the Druids from their literate neighbors in the ancient world, while still mainting his contrast between what is known and what is inferred.
This is the part of the book that will interest those who want to get the best possible picture of who and what the Druids really were, as these contemporary and near contemporary accounts are the closest things we have to real insight to the culture of the ancient Celts.

 William Stukeley: Science, Religion and Archaeology in Eighteenth-century England Folklore - Find Articles
Archaeologists and folklorists alike owe a great deal to Stuart Piggott's work on the relation between archaeology and eighteenth-century concepts of antiquity and culture.
Haycock treats Stukeley in a much broader context than Piggott did, and this enables him to give a wider and more subtle picture of Stukeley's life and work.
So often criticism of figures such as these stresses their modern qualities, how they broke with ideas of the past, and adopted the categories of empirical research and rational explanation that are familiar to us.

 Alexander Keiller Museum: papers of archaeologists, antiquaries and historians
The Sanctuary was identified and excavated in 1930 by Maud Cunnington, and West Kennet Long Barrow was excavated and restored by Stuart Piggott and Richard Atkinson in 1955-56.
Following Keiller's death in 1955, Isobel Smith continued the excavation of Windmill Hill using various 'new' methods such as radiocarbon dating, and Silbury Hill was excavated by Richard Atkinson from 1968-69 with the support of the BBC.
There are three elements to the collection, Keiller's own correspondence and papers, the correspondence and papers of archaeologists and curators employed by him (and later the Museum), and an artificial collection of correspondence and papers relating to the Avebury sites.

Still remains the definitive book on the subject.
Stuart Piggott probably did not realise at the time of writing this book that it would remain the finest and most scrupulous record of all the evidence we have on the Druids for the next 37 odd years.
The study of Druids is restricted to the evidence available, which is, given a background knowledge of Iron Age European societies, fragmentary enough to be covered completely in one decent reading session.
