Dorothy Garrod, English Archaeologist

Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod (1892-1968) was an English archeologist who was the first woman to hold an Oxbridge chair, partly through her pioneering work on the Paleolithic period. The chronological framework established by her excavations in the Levant remain crucial to the present understanding of the prehistoric evolution in the region. Her excavations at the cave sites in the Levant were conducted with almost exclusively women workers recruited from local villages
