William Gowland is known for a number of significant Kofun period finds in the early decades of Japanese archaeology.
He worked for the Osaka mint for a time, from 1872 to 1888. During this time, he also led excavations of some four hundred kofun (mound tombs) and other archaeological sites. A considerable number of objects found in these excavations were later donated to the British Museum.
