Vera Conlon

Vera Marjorie Conlon (, 12 August 1906 – 23 January 1994) was a British archaeological excavation photographer who is noted for her work at the UCL Institute of Archaeology and for publishing a textbook about photographic techniques for archaeologists.

Life Conlon was born in 1906 in Streatham, Surrey, as Vera Marjorie Drake, and was later described as having a "strong cockney accent." She was known by the nickname "Connie." She worked as the head of the Photography Department. She retired in 1971. The book adapted advice to the newest camera and darkroom equipment available to photographers. It became a notable work about the specific photographic techniques required for field archaeology and "showed a keen awareness of photography's own lineage in archaeology."

Conlon died in 1994 in Swanage, Dorset.
