Expanding on the accompanying online exhibition’s theme of female archaeologists, through its focus on Kathleen Kenyon, this episode takes a look at Gertrude Caton-Thompson (1888-1985) and Tessa Wheeler (1893-1936). These women were pioneering archaeologists in their own right, who had a connection to Kenyon, as she trained under them in Zimbabwe and Verulamium respectively. This episode will also be addressing wider themes, such as Feminist Archaeology and misogyny within the field.
