Came across this which may be of interest. Being a Channel Islander myself it is the story of Frederick Corbin Lukis of Guernsey who went from an Antiquary to Archaelogist and is written by Heather Sebire who I believe is still the Archaelogical Officer of the Guernsey Museum. Lukis was also a splendid artist and I have hanging on my lounge wall a copy of his drawing of La Pouquelaye de Faldouet (Dolmen de Faldouet) the passage grave in Jersey that I know so well. It looks like a good read which I must get a copy of.
