David George Hogarth (23 May 1862, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire – 6 November 1927, Oxford) was a British archaeologist and scholar associated with T. E. Lawrence and Arthur Evans.

Archaeological career

Between 1887 and 1907, Hogarth travelled to excavations in Cyprus, Crete, Egypt, Syria, Melos, and Ephesus (the Temple of Artemis).^[1] On the island of Crete, he excavated Zakros.

Ashmolean museum

He was the keeper of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford from 1909 ^[2] until his death in 1927. ^[3] The character of Mr. Dryden (played by Claude Rains) in the film Lawrence of Arabia was loosely based on an amalgamation of Hogarth and colonial Governor Sir Ronald Storrs.

Military service

In 1915, during World War I, Hogarth joined the Geographical Section of the Naval Intelligence Division.^[4] He also was the acting director of the Arab Bureau for a time during the war, with Kinahan Cornwallis as his deputy.
