Roger Summers (1907-2003) was a Zimbabwean archaeologist, who worked for the National Museums and Monuments Commission from 1947 - 1970 and was described as "a major influence in the formative years of Zimbabwean, then. Rhodesian, archaeology". [1] He came into conflict with the Rhodesian government due to his refusal to deny the African origins of Great Zimbabwe. [2] He worked extensively on Great Zimbabwe, [3] Nyanga [4] [5] and more generally on the Iron Age in Zimbabwe [6] and on ancient mining in Zimbabwe [7]
