Summary: | Aileen Fox, a pioneer of archaeology at Exeter University, was one of the first women to hold a senior post at a British university and was a committed supporter of local archaeology throughout a career that spanned six decades. This highly personal and engaging memoir records her life and work in great detail, from her birth in affluent Kensington in 1907, through a career alongside Mortimer Wheeler and other luminaries with prehistoric excavations in south Wales and southern England to her productive decade in New Zealand.
