Charles Dawson (1864–August 1916) was an amateur British archeologist who is credited or blamed with discoveries that turned out to be imaginative frauds, including that of the Piltdown man, which he presented in 1912. Dawson was often present at finds in the archeological digs, or was the finder himself. Dawson died prematurely from septicaemia.
