Woolley, (Charles) Leonard
English archaeologist. After taking part in an expedition to Nubia 1907–11, he excavated the Hittite city of Carchemish in Syria until 1914; Tell el Amarna in Egypt; Atchana (the ancient Alalakh) in the Hatay near Antioch on the Turkish-Syrian border 1935–39 and 1946–49; and brought to light the ancient Sumerian civilization at Ur in Iraq.
In 1929 Woolley claimed that silt deposits at Ur attested to a flood that might have given rise to the Bible story.
Besides his scholarly excavation reports, he published popular accounts of his work which helped to promote archaeology to a nonspecialist audience. Titles include Ur of the Chaldees 1929, Digging Up the Past 1930, and A Forgotten Kingdom 1953. ( )
