Charles Fellows

Sir Charles Fellows (* August 1799 in Nottingham; † 8. November 1860 in London) war ein britischer Forschungsreisender und Archäologe.

1838 reiste Fellows nach Kleinasien und bereiste als erster Wissenschaftler das antike Lykien, wo er u. a. Xanthos wieder entdeckte. Seine Entdeckungen erregten in England großes Aufsehen und 1839 erfolgte eine zweite Reise. Seine Wiederentdeckung von Pinara wird von einzelnen Quellen auf 1840 datiert. Im Mai desselben Jahres beschrieb Fellow auch als erster die römische Brücke bei Limyra, eine der ältesten Segmentbogenbrücken der Welt. Durch Erlaubnis eines Ferman des osmanischen Sultans war es ihm auf seiner dritten Reise 1841-42 möglich, zahlreiche lykische Antiken ins British Museum in London transportieren zu lassen, so u. a. das Nereiden- und das Harpyienmonument.
