He was a leading pioneer in the Stone Age archaeology of Zimbabwe and later in 1936 became the keeper of the National Museum of Southern Rhodesia and worked at Mapungubwe as an archaeologist in the 1930s. He was a keen photographer and many of the early photographs in the Mapungubwe Archive of communities and traditional leaders were taken by him.
