{"product_id":"9781785705205","title":"Dorothy Garrod and the Progress of the Palaeolithic","description":"Dorothy Garrod opened many doors; not only was she the first  female professor at Cambridge University, but she illuminated -  and in some cases initiated - some of prehistoric archaeology's  most central issues. The quiet yet self possessed woman was best  known as a fieldworker, often venturing into dangerous regions  such as Kurdistan. Her first and highly successful excavation  revealed fragments of Neanderthal fossils in Gibralter. This  volume reviews modern research on this site, as well as exploring  other issues which interested the Disney Professor of  Archaeology: hominid remains from Mount Carmel; Palaeolithic  sites in the Zagros Mountains, Bulgaria and Britain; and the  cultural evidence for the beginning of Near Eastern food  production, which Garrod called Natufian. Also included are  papers concerned with her life, background and published work.  The topics' span and continuing relevance are testament to  Dorothy Garrod's remarkable character and great achievements.","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114550935792,"sku":"9781785705205","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781785705205_p0.jpg?v=1763729349","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781785705205","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
