Fieldwork is an essential aspect of archaeological training and is central to our professional identity. It is also a place where a lot of sexist attitudes and comments happen and where women and minorities are frequently discriminated against. These discrimina-tions take many forms, ranging from simple denial of access to the field, to the gendered division of labour, to harassment and assault. Among prehistorians, women have been, nevertheless, well represented in the field from the beginning of professional archaeology in the early XXth century. The British and the Swedish archaeologists Dorothy Garrod and Hanna Rydh are two examples among others of these women. In France, a few profiles emerged in the XXth century, such as Germaine Henri-Martin, Annette Laming-Emperaire and Suzanne Cassou de Saint-Mathurin. However, we have little or no biographical information on many of these women researchers. After their death, they tend to be “forgotten” in historiographical accounts. Their work is underestimated, presented as anecdotal or simply erased.
