I would consider anyone who devoted his life to studying prehistoric monuments a maverick - sure, he wasn't undisciplined in the true sense of a maverick, but it is certainly viewed as 'unorthodox' - that is, not normal - to devote your life to stone circles in today's society.


So Atkinson fits in with the others ?


Perhaps as a human being he would have - he was a conscientious objector, after all? But being thought of as a maverick within such an insular world as archeaology would probably mean all concerned needed to get out more.
