  Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod
Born in 1892, Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod was the daughter of an English physician.
Garrod studied the remains of fauna of various areas, and was able to relate them clearly to ancient climatic and ecological conditions.
Garrod didn’t believe she had much of a chance in a time when women had been accepted as lecturers for barely ten years, and were still not admitted for degrees, but as she told a friend, Glyn Daniel: “I shan’t get it, but I thought I’d give the electors a run for their money”.

Dorothy Garrod with bear cub, Anatolia, 1938 "She was calm and self-assured, conversed easily and put me completely at ease, and I took to her at once," reports Dr Bruce Howe on his first meeting with Garrod in 1938.
Garrod was a modest, shy person and appears to have been uncomfortable with the attention her election elicited.
Garrod responded that since it was an issue of discrimination between officers of the same Faculty and as all the junior teaching officers were not receiving stipends, all were hardship cases.

'''Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod''' (1892 - 1968) was a British archaeologist who was the first woman to hold an Oxbridge chair, partly through her pioneering work on the Palaeolithic period.
Following this, she held excavations at Mount Carmel in Israel where, working closely with Dorothy Bate, she demonstrated a long sequence of Lower Palaeolithic and later occupation in the caves of Tabun, El Wad and Es Skhul.
After holding a number of other academic posts she was made Disney Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge in 1939, a post she held until 1952, aside from a gap towards the end of the Second World War when she served in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.

 Archibald Garrod Summary
Garrod's father, a distinguished professor of medicine at University College in London, was the first physician to note the presence of uric acid in patients suffering from gout.
Garrod was a proponent of scientific research as the foundation of medical practice, and published on a variety of diseases and topics throughout his career, including An Introduction to the Use of the Laryngoscope (1886) and A Treatise on Rheumatism and Rheumatoid Arthritis (1890).
Garrod studied the recurrence patterns in several families, realized it followed an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance, and postulated that it was caused by a mutation in a gene for enzyme involved in the metabolism of a class of compounds called alkaptans.

 The Prehistoric Society - PPS Abstract
Dorothy Garrod’s Excavations in the Late Mousterian of Shukbah Cave in Palestine Reconsidered
Professor Dorothy A.E. Garrod’s 1928 excavation of the Mousterian Layer D at Shukbah Cave in the Wadi en-Natuf (Palestine) has been neglected by prehistorians in favour of the Epipalaeolithic Layer B with its Natufian culture, for which Shukbah is the typesite.
The excavation of Layer D is now re-examined with the aid of Garrod’s own unpublished documentation and photographs, and the lithic industry analysed in the light of her conclusion that it was the work of a late Middle Palaeolithic hominid population, probably of Neanderthal type.

It was not until the late 1950s and 1960s that indigenous researchers really began to make their own contribution to the prehistory of the region, but the colonial legacy remains influential even today.
Extensive fieldwork over the last 35 years or so may have supplied a vast and rich data base, but the fundamental categories of research have remained virtually unchanged since the establishment of the Levantine prehistoric sequence by European archaeologists such as Dorothy Garrod in the 1930s.
Much of the current literature displays scant regard for informed theoretical debate, yet the richness and quality of the data lend themselves - as this course aims to show - to rigorous social analysis.
