Alfred Rust Scientist
Alfred Rust (July 4, 1900 Hamburg - August 14, 1983 Ahrensburg) was a German archaeologist and prehistorian. Self-taught, he became a pioneer in the study of culture in Hamburg (late Paleolithic culture in northern Europe), especially through his excavations in northern Germany.B.E. Roveland, University of Massachusetts Amherst, commented about the self-taught archaeologists who had played a major role in 1930 and onwards in the archaeological discoveries in northern Germany, specifically citing Alfred Rust as "the most effective of these amateurs, whose work on the now classic sites of Meiendorf and Stellmoor launched the study of the Hamburgian period."
