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'.
