Archibald Campbell Carlyle (1831–1897)[1] was an English archaeologist active in India.
The Archaeological Survey of India was revived as a distinct department of the government and Sir Alexander Cunningham was appointed as Director General, taking office in February 1871.
Carlleyle handled the Agra region for the Report of 1871–72, while Beglar was responsible for Delhi.
In 1867–68, Carlleyle discovered paintings on the walls and ceilings of rock shelters in Sohagighat, in the Mirzapur district.
