systematization of pottery from Slavic sites in Slovenia. At the end of his professional career in archaeology in Ljubljana, he published the first historical and critical synthesis of Slovenian archaeology: “Razvoj in problemi slovenske arheoloske vede” (1941a; Development and Problems of Slovenian Archaeological Discipline). As an ethnographer, Lozar edited and contributed important texts to the Narodopisje Slovencev (Ethnography of the Slovenes) published in 1944.

After 1945, Lozar left Slovenia for political reasons. He lived in Austria until 1950 when he moved to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he worked as the director of local city museum. After leaving Slovenia, he lost all professional contacts with contemporary Slovenian archaeologists.

Lyell, Sir Charles

(1797–1875)

Born in Scotland, Lyell studied geology at Oxford University with william buckland. In 1819 he moved to London to study law and was admitted to the bar, but never practiced. Instead he took up the study of geology and scientific writing, supporting himself financially through private means and from the sale of his enormously influential books. Lyell was professor of geology at King’s College, London, between 1831 and 1833 and was knighted in 1848.

His three-volume Principles of Geology (1830–1833) described modern and uniform long-term geological changes and argued against the prevailing catatstrophism of his time as unscientific and based on biblical chronology. Lyell also contributed to the development of paleontology and Tertiary studies and helped to establish the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene periods, based on animal extinctions.

While Lyell rejected Lamarck’s evolutionism, he argued that extinction was the normal course of nature. He gradually accepted Charles Darwin’s theories after the publication of On the Origin of Species (1859) but the question of human origins and human-ape connections remained a problem for him. In his book Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man (1863) he promoted arguments for the long antiquity of human history, convinced by evidence, provided by william pengelly and hugh falconer from brixham cave and other sites, of man-made tools being found with extinct fauna. In 1859 Lyell and the rest of the committee of the Geological Society of London followed joseph prestwich and john evans to Abbeville in France to pass judgment on the validity of the fossil and tool finds in the
