Dorothy Garrod opened many doors; not only was she the first female
professor at Cambridge University, but she illuminated - and in
some cases initiated - some of prehistoric archaeology's most
central issues. The quiet yet self possessed woman was best known
as a fieldworker, often venturing into dangerous regions such as
Kurdistan. Her first and highly successful excavation revealed
fragments of Neanderthal fossils in Gibraltar. This volume reviews
modern research on this site, as well as exploring other issues
which interested the Disney Professor of Archaeology: hominid
remains from Mount Carmel; Palaeolithic sites in the Zagros
Mountains, Bulgaria and Britain; and the cultural evidence for the
beginning of Near Eastern food production, which Garrod called
Natufian. Also included are papers concerned with her life,
background and published work. The topics' span and continuing
relevance are testament to Dorothy Garrod's remarkable character
and great achievements.
