Timeline

1935

Marion Archibald was born in 1935.

1958

She started her numismatic career at the Birmingham City Museum in 1958.

1963

She joined the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum in 1963, and was appointed Assistant Keeper in 1965; she retired from her post in 1997.

Beyond the immediate study of Anglo-Saxon Coins and monetary systems, her interests extended to dies, coin weights, trial pieces and lead strikings, and coin jewellery.

She worked to advance the scientific analysis of Coins, and as a member of the Royal Numismatic Society's scientific committee organised a conference on, and co-wrote a text, on the application of metallurgy in numismatics.

Her responsibilities at the museum extended to fielding treasure trove finds, whether coin hoards, excavation Coins or single-finds; these gave her ample subject-matter for a prodigious output of articles, notes and reports.

She was a pioneer in the systematic recording of finds, as well as the application of an understanding of coin circulation histories on the dating of excavations; more generally, she worked to integrate numismatic and monetary system studies with archaeology and historical research, to the benefit of all these disciplines.

She was reputed a superb lecturer.

1970

Her 70th birthday was celebrated with the publication of a book of essays authored by 30 of her colleagues, collaborators and former students for whom Marion's name was "synonymous ... with the study of Anglo-Saxon Coins at the British Museum".

1974

She was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1974.

1976

Archibald was the secretary of the Royal Numismatic Society Scientific Research Committee from its inception in 1976 until 1997.

1980

Her work was widely recognised, and she was awarded the Sanford Saltus Gold Medal of the British Numismatic Society in 1980, the Jeton de Vermeil of the French Numismatic Society in 1988, and the Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 2011.

She continued to write after retiring from the British Museum.

During this time three volumes of Metallurgy in Numismatics were published by the Society (MIN 1 in 1980, MIN 2 in 1988, MIN 3 in 1993), Archibald co-editing the third volume with MR Cowell.

1986

She held the post of president of the British Association of Numismatic Societies from 1986 to 1991; each year it sponsors a Marion Archibald Memorial Lecture at its annual conference.

1996

Throughout her career Archibald worked as an officer and council member of the Royal Numismatic Society and the British Numismatic Society, both electing her Honorary Fellow, the former in 1996.

1998

The fourth volume (MIN 4 1998) included a dedication to Archibald highlighting her work as secretary, her editorship of MIN 3, and her work in organising the symposia which formed the basis for the MIN series.

Archibald's 70th birthday year was celebrated with the publication of a book of essays, Coinage and History in the North Sea World, c. AD 500-1250 integrating an understanding of numismatics, monetary studies, archaeology and history, with papers from 30 of her colleagues, collaborators and former students.

2016
