Robert Munro (archaeologist)

An illustration from Monro's Palæolithic Man and Terramara Settlements in Europe of a bronze celt (a prehistoric, chisel-bladed tool), a bronze and bone awl, and a variety of objects used either as beads or as spindle whorls.

Robert Munro (Ross-shire 21 July 1835–1920) was a Scottish archaeologist.[1] He was educated at the University of Edinburgh and was a physician at Kilmarnock until 1886 when he turned his whole attention to archaeological research. He was a member of many learned societies at home and abroad and published several books on the subjects of his research.[2]

Monroe wrote articles for the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, attributed to him by the initials "R. Mu".[3]
