W. Daniel Wilson

    3 de diciembre de 1950

    Sir Daniel Wilson fue un arqueólogo y autor pionero cuyo trabajo exploró profundamente la intersección de la historia y la prehistoria. Su enfoque innovador para organizar colecciones arqueológicas, inspirado en las prácticas de museos daneses, ayudó a establecer nuevos marcos cronológicos en el campo. Más allá de sus contribuciones teóricas, Wilson fue un agudo observador y cronista, documentando meticulosamente el patrimonio arquitectónico en desaparición y la etnografía de los pueblos indígenas que encontró. Se le atribuye de manera destacada la introducción del término 'prehistórico' en el vocabulario arqueológico inglés, enfatizando la importancia de estudiar las épocas anteriores a los registros escritos. Sus escritos y esfuerzos artísticos reflejan un profundo compromiso con la preservación y la comprensión del pasado.
