Philip Corder
Philip Corder was a British archaeologist and president of the Royal Archaeological Institute.
Excavations
Corder undertook the first excavations at the Roman fort at Malton '' in 1927-1930, along with his colleague Dr John Kirk. The material from this excavation formed the core collection of the Malton Museum in Malton, North Yorkshire. Corder and Kirk also undertook a series of excavation at the Roman Villa at Langton.
In 1928 Corder published the results of his major excavations of a kiln site at Crambeck in North Yorkshire. The Crambeck excavations, undertaken in autumn 1926 and summer and autumn of 1927 with students of Bootham School, identified three types of pottery uniquely produced at the site, now known as Crambeck Ware.
