Biographical history

John Henry ‘Harry’ Iliffe (1903-1960) was a British archaeologist. Educated at Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge, his significant museum career included posts as head of Classical collections at the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology, Toronto (1927-1931); the first keeper of the Palestine Archaeological Museum, now the Rockefeller Museum, in Jerusalem (1931-1948); and Director of Museums in Liverpool (1948-1959). His major interest was Near Eastern archaeology, which is reflected in his work on Sigillata Wares. He took part in excavations in Cyprus, from which the RD Milns Antiquities Museum at The University of Queensland holds three artefacts. Iliffe was awarded an OBE in 1948; he died in 1960.
