In 1944, R.E.M. Wheeler became the Director-General of the ASI and addressed an existing problem in archaeology. Instead of mechanically digging along uniform horizontal lines, Wheeler introduced the practice of following the stratigraphy of the mound, bringing a military precision to archaeology due to his background as an ex-army brigadier.
