- Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod was the daughter of the noted physician Sir Archibald Garrod. She studied at Cambridge University and the Pitt Rivers Museum at Oxford and remained unmarried. She organized several archaeological digs in Gibraltar and Kurdistan before going to work at Mount Carmel in Palestine with a joint Anglo-American team in 1929. There the team discovered a female skeleton over 40,000 years old, which placed human life in the Paleolithic and Mesolithic eras. She was later involved in important excavations in Lebanon and was the author of The Upper Paleolithic Age in Britain (1926) and the two-volume The Stone Age of Mount Carmel (1937–1939) with Dorothea Bate, among other works. Dorothy Garrod became the first female professor at Cambridge and the first woman to hold an "Oxbridge" chair when she was named Disney Professor of Archeology in 1937. During World War II she served as a section officer with the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force). She was the first woman to be awarded the Gold Medal of the Society of Antiquaries in 1968. She was created Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
