Vera Ivy Evison FSA (23 January 1918 – 18 March 2018) was a British archaeologist and academic, who specialed in Post-Roman Britain and early-Medieval England.
[2][3][4] Evison attended Lewisham Prendergast school until 1937, following this with a series of evening classes, in subject including archaeology, before studying BA English language and literature.
Her studies were supported by working as a secretary for Kathleen Kenyon at the London University Institute of Archaeology.
She also worked as a volunteer assistant at the British Museum, helping to unpack Anglo-Saxon objects (including grave goods from Sutton Hoo), once they were returned to the galleries after the Second World War.
Through this she brought six Anglo-Saxon cemeteries to publication: Buckland (Dover); Great Chesterford (Essex); Holborough Hill (Kent); two at Beckford (Herefordshire); and Alton (Hampshire).
