Charles Thomas Newton (1816 1894) was a British archaeologist
specialising in Greek and Roman artefacts. He studied at Christ
Church, Oxford before joining the British Museum. Newton left the
Museum in 1852 to explore the coast of Asia Minor, and in 1856 he
discovered the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of
the seven ancient wonders of the world. This study, first published
in 1862, contains Newton's descriptions of the archaeological
excavations of the Mausoleum and other sites. Compiled from
Newton's official reports, this detailed account of the
archaeological procedures used in his excavation and the artefacts
he found provides valuable insights into mid-nineteenth-century
practice. The original edition included a large volume of plates,
which it is not feasible to reproduce at this time. However the
information in the text volumes is of sufficient importance to
merit their reissue independently. Part 1 contains descriptions of
the Mausoleum.
