ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Ladies of the Field
would not have been possible without the assistance, support, and work of scholars and friends. Professor Martha Sharp Joukowsky, co-editor of the book
Breaking Ground:
Pioneering Women Archaeologists,
provided early encouragement for this project; my sincere thanks for the enthusiasm and support.

Professor Margot Irvine at the University of Gelph was exceptionally helpful in my research of Jane Dieulafoy, as was Béatrice André-Salvini, Conservateur general, chef du departement des Antiquités Orientales at the Louvre, Paris. I am also indebted to Fabienne Queyroux, Conservateur en Chef at the Bibliothèque de l’Institut en Académei Français for humoring my terrible French and for helping me navigate the archive’s permissions process. Catherine Stevenson and Dr. Margret Dubin are also warmly acknowledged for providing me with French translations of Jane Dieulafoy’s material.

Jessica Zimmer provided me with some initial research assistance, and LeeAnn Barnes continued to be my personal “arch-angel” by forwarding me so many items of interest over the past year. Jody Michael Gordon, PhD candidate at the University of Cincinnati, Department of Classics, suggested that I consider including Agatha Christie in the book, and that suggestion was happily seized upon. Yuki Furyuya, also a PhD student at the University of Cincinnati, Classics Department and currently working in Greece, kindly sent me a rare article written by Harriet Boyd Hawes from the Smithsonian Institute.

Dr. Pamela Jane Smith is the remarkable scholar who uncovered the “lost” archives belonging to Dorothy Garrod. For her cooperation in allowing me to read and cite her work I am most grateful.

Thanks must also be extended to my mother, Kathy, who joined me in Paris, saved us both with her very good French, and walked enough Metro stairs to last a lifetime. Several people read early chapter drafts: my amazing brothers Kevin and Tim Adams, and dear friends Erisa Coppernoll and Emily Cook. My husband, Matthew Hinde, read the whole manuscript (at least twice) and always brought me a steady supply of laughs and love throughout the project’s duration. Thank you all.

And last, sincere thanks to my wonderful editor, Nancy Flight, whose generous insights and comments I always look forward to and value so highly. I’m also grateful to my publisher, Rob Sanders, for his ongoing vision and support. Everyone at Greystone Books is a treat to work with—special thanks also to Lara Kordic, Lara Smith, Carra Simpson, and Emiko Morita.
