David  Randall-MacIver  ( 31.10.1873  -  30.04.1945 )

David Randall-MacIver was a British Egyptologist and archaeologist. He first excavated under William M. Flinders Petrie at Dendera and Abydos in 1898–1901, and directed a mission at el-Amra with Anthony Wilkin in 1900–1901. He moved to the United States where he became the curator of the Egyptian section of the University Museum of Pennsylvania in 1906–11 and the director of the Eckley B. Coxe expedition to Nubia. In that role, together with C. Leonard Woolley, he  excavated at the sites of Anibeh, Nasr Ibrim, Ma'am, Areika, Buhen, and Karanog in 1907–1910. He did not resume work in Egypt of Nubia after the First World War: he moved to Italy and his interests shifted to that country and other topics.
