This article aims to provide an initial analysis of the earlyconnections between Christopher Hawkes and Spanish archaeology in the context of hisparticipation in two of the international summer courses in Ampurias in 1947 and 1950.The documentation used for this article comes mainly from the Pericot Archive in theLibrary of Catalonia, in which there are 43 letters from Hawkes to Pericot between 1940and 1975. In addition, other correspondence in the British Museum and in the Ministry ofForeign Affairs will be mentioned. This study forms part of a larger project ofrecovering the memory of twentieth-century British-Spanish relations, of which a firstphase has centred on the assessment of Gordon Childe’s contacts with Spain (Díaz-Andreu1998; forthcoming–a; forthcoming–b). As in Gordon Childe’s case, all memory of Hawkes’visits, and indeed of his relationships with Spanish archaeologists, has since beenlost. Unfortunately, this situation is not exceptional: most of the links betweenSpanish archaeologists and British and American archaeologists in the twenty yearsaround the Spanish Civil War have dropped out of archaeological memory. To the namesmentioned in a recent seminar (Gordon Childe, Edward Thurlow Leeds, Eoin MacWhite,Hubert Savory) (Armada Pita 2006), many others could be added. As this article willshow, however, there were many contacts and these help to explain some developments inthe archaeological thinking and practice of the participants involved in theseexchanges, as well as some events in the international organisation ofarchaeology
