* The reason that Pitt Rivers has the date 1945 associated with this table is that since 1945 a good number of found unentered items from the founding collection have been retrieved and added to the collections management database, objects prm, these have been excluded from this table but they do in fact form part of the collection received in 1884.

** It is difficult to separate Charles and Brenda’s collections so in effect they have been taken together.

The highest percentage of collections that are ethnographic belong to Hutton, who scarcely collected archaeological objects, the lowest are those of the Seligmans. The highest percentage of objects that are archaeological is again the Seligmans and the lowest is Hutton. These two collections are much more biased than the others, with Tylor having the most balanced (basically a 50 - 50 split between the two camps), Pitt Rivers being next most balanced and Balfour’s collection being split two thirds to ethnography and one third to archaeology. Most of the collections have relatively few items which are not clearly archaeological or ethnographic, with Blackwood and Pitt Rivers having the highest number but still low comparatively. None of them really matches the pattern for the collections up to 1945 as a whole (see last column and chart).

None of the collections really match the division between continents of the overall PRM collections up to 1945. Balfour, Pitt Rivers, and Tylor have some representation from every continent in their collections; Blackwood, Hutton and (to a lesser extent) the Seligmans have a less global collection, with Hutton definitely having the most biased geographically with a whopping 99 per cent of his collections from one continent (Asia).

B3. What percentage of each archaeological collection came from each continent?

[article ID:23]

B4. What percentage of each ethnographic collection came from each continent?

[article ID:24]

NB There is no chart for Hutton ’s ethnography as it is overwhelmingly Asian.

NB of course in most instances the collectors totals in this table do not add up to 100 per cent as either the items of less than 1 per cent spoil the addition or else artefacts which are neither archaeological or ethnographic are significant but are not included in the above table.

Significant figures are highlighted in red. In each case the collector seems to have one predominating area in his collection:

Balfour - European ethnography

Blackwood - Oceanian ethnography

Hutton - Asian ethnography

Pitt Rivers - European archaeology

Seligmans - African archaeology

Tylor - Australian archaeology (with Asian ethnography as a close second)

B6. Which countries were important to each named collector in their collections?

[article ID:26]

Please note for all tables in this section: we have calculated these using the 'up to 1945' database, for Balfour in particular this will mean that the total number of objects given in the field collector tables do not match these figures in any way as they were calculated using the on-line up to 2003 database which includes a large number of Balfour material which was found, after his death, unentered. For this reason (and in order to work out what percentages of particular collections each class represents) we have calculated the total number of objects up to 1945 based on the 'up to 1945' database which is given at the end of the table.

Readers are reminded yet again that a single object can, of course, have more than one country assigned to it during the cataloguing and accessioning process, therefore we have taken great care not to add together countries and set them against the total number of objects in my summary unless we have excluded any double counting between categories.

Named collectors and countries as field collectors

[article ID:27]

Note that the countries in blue are non-colonial countries, the countries in red have been part of the British Empire. Countries in green have no objects from them in the collections of any of the named collectors [NC after their name means Non-colonial, C = colonial], all zero figures have been coloured green to make it easier to spot numbers. Country names in plum mean that objects from there are present in each named collection

Seligman*

Hutton

* Note that to calculate the Seligman figures we have just typed Seligman in field collector field, which means that it will catch items collected by both Brenda and Charles Seligman

** Whereas for Tylor's field collection we searched on his full name

Conclusions about countries and named collectors as field collectors:

[article ID:28]

The number of countries from which Balfour might have collected is very high, this does not so much reflect the fact that he travelled a good deal (though he did, mainly for short periods over large areas) but that there is still some uncertainty about where exactly he travelled to or collected from. He did not always record the destinations of all summer vacations and family holidays.

Named collectors and countries as donors

[article ID:29]

[ie including their secondary collections as well]

Note that the countries in blue are non-colonial countries, the countries in red have been part of the British Empire. Countries in green have no objects from them in the collections of any of the named collectors [NC after their name means Non-colonial, C = colonial], all zero figures have been coloured green to make it easier to spot numbers. Country names in plum mean that objects from there are present in each named collection
