Keller, Ferdinand

Keller, Ferdinand (1800–81) [Bi].
Swiss archaeologist and prehistorian who was ordained as a priest but subsequently became Director of the Zurich Museum and pioneered the investigation of the Swiss ‘lake-dwellings’. With other researchers he recognized that these settlements were not of one period, but showed a progression from Stone Age to Iron Age, providing further corroboration of the THREE AGE SYSTEM.[Obit.: Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, 9 (1881–3), 122]
