Harold St George Gray

Glastonbury Lake Village In 1904 he was involved with Arthur Bulleid in the excavation of Glastonbury Lake Village and later at Meare Lake Village. One of Gray's contributions to archaeology was the scale of the excavations undertaken and the detailed records kept following the teaching of his mentor Pitt-Rivers. He also developed techniques of making three dimensional models of the sites.

Maumbury Rings From 1908 to 1913 he was responsible for excavations at Maumbury Rings. Gray's report for the 1910 excavations notes that Florence St George Gray was responsible for restoring antlers, a human skull and other objects.

Avebury Gray excavated for five seasons between 1908 and 1922 at Avebury (1908, 1909, 1911, 1914 and 1922). His discovery of over forty antler picks at or near the bottom of the henge ditch at Avebury proved that it had been dug out of solid chalk to a depth of using red deer antlers as picks. Excavations at Avebury were sponsored by the British Academy and private donors.

Windmill Hill 1926 to 1929 Gray worked at Windmill Hill, Avebury with Alexander Keiller.
