Archaeology has many remarkable women
My vote would go to the wonderful Jacquetta Hawkes, her guide to the Prehistoric monuments in England and Wales was one of the first archaeological books I read.
Margaret Curtis is a national treasure.


Thanks fitz, I have seen Jacquetta Hawkes name mentioned many times but have never actually come across her work (I'll look harder).

I found this online article about her - wittily called 'A Rare Bird'.
