| description | <p class="first" id="d9443292e85">This article presents an assessment of the administrative career of Kathleen Kenyon.
It examines her involvement in the new Institute and wider British archaeological
community as well as assessing her working life within the context of the increasing
professionalisation of archaeological organisations between the wars, and the role
played in this by female administrators. The behaviours and actions of Kenyon and
those around her are also evaluated within the context of wider contemporary attitudes
to and about women. Finally, Kenyon’s role in women’s archaeological practice and
women’s contributions to archaeological culture between the wars is considered.
