Reginald Allender Smith

Reginald A. (Allender) Smith (1873–1940) was an archaeologist, Keeper of British and Medieval Antiquities at the British Museum in the 1920s, and the author of several books.
He was on the side of the skeptics during the inquiry as to whether or not Piltdown man was genuine, known for having offered a single line of testimony concerning a "bone implement" purported to be a tool. He remarked simply, it was reported, on "the possibility of the bone having been found and whittled in recent times."
