(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Revil John Mason was a South African archaeologist. He was Professor of Archaeology at the University of the Witwatersrand. Early life and career Mason was born in Johannesburg, grew up in Saxonwold and matriculated from St John's College. He attained a B.Comm degree from the University of the Witwatersrand and was awarded the Aitken medal for the best graduate in commerce as well as the Chamber of Industries medal and the Dean’s award. However after attending a lecture presented by the anthropologist Raymond Dart he became fascinated with archaeology and decided to study it at the University of Cape Town. He was awarded his doctorate in archaeology at the age of 28, with a thesis entitled "The prehistory of the Transvaal : a record of human activity."
