The Earl of Cranbrook (V) (then Lord Medway) was first introduced to archaeological research in 1958 when he participated in excavations at the Niah Caves, Sarawak Borneo. In that same year he published a paper entitled 'Food bone in Niah Cave excavations (-1958)' in the Sarawak Museum Journal. Unbeknownst to him at the time, his individual and intuitive research was on a par with, if not methodologically ahead of, burgeoning studies in the field of zooarchaeology that were taking place at leading academic institutions in Europe and the United States. This paper recounts and lauds the significant contributions the Earl of Cranbrook has made to the establishment and furtherance of a discipline over more than 50 years.
