Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Quarto, 10 1/2 in. x 8 1/2 in. pp. 191, LXXXI plates. Original beige paper boards, black printed letters. Boards very clean, no spotting or discoloring. Black letter title and author to spine. Spine mildly creased but very sound. Internal pages very clean. Plates include photographs, diagrams, maps, charts, and excavation sites and items. The female archaeologist Gertrude Canton-Thompson (1888-1985) led an archeological team to excavate 4th and 5th century BCE tombs in southern Arabia. The Oxford geologist Elinor Gardner and Freya Stark accompanied her. As L.P. Kirwan writes of these three women, they "carried out in a region then rarely visited by Western, let alone female, travelers, they were the first scientific excavations in southern Arabia." The present report details their findings of various pre-Islamic religious artifacts and sites, including shrines, structures, and ceramics. Canton-Thompson was a "formidable personality, a trenchant critic, adamant in academic argument, and an indefatigable worker." (ODNB) This book is an artifact itself of the intellectual labor of three mid-century women.

First edition, no. 13 of the Reports of the Research Committee of the Society of Antiquaries of London. Caton-Thompson was drawn to the Hadhramaut by her interest in the question of Arab influence in South-East Africa. She joined Freya Stark (returning to the area after the visits described in her The Southern Gates of Arabia), but Stark remained behind, beset by illness, when Caton-Thompson and her companion Elinor Gardner moved on to Hureidha. The present volume records the successful results of this important and early archaeological expedition, one of few in an area that "then was archaeologically still terra incognita" (Preface). 'Caton-Thompson's last excavations, in 1937, were the only ones outside Africa apart from some fieldwork in Malta in her student days. These were at al-Huraydah in the Hadhramaut, southern Arabia, where she excavated the Moon Temple and tombs of the fifth and fourth centuries bc. Carried out in a region then rarely visited by Western, let alone female, travellers, they were the first scientific excavations in southern Arabia. Again she was accompanied by Elinor Gardner. A third, less compatible, member of the party was the writer and traveller Freya Stark. The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha, Hadramaut appeared in 1944' (ODNB). Some of the plates are by Freya Stark, who accompanied Thompson on this expedition.

First Edition
First appearance in print of the text of a report by the distinguished archaeologist Gertrude Caton-Thompson (1888-1985) on her 1937-8 expedition to the Hadhramaut in the company of Freya Stark and Elinor Gardner. The expedition, the subject of Stark's A Winter in Arabia, unearthed the first evidence of pre-Islamic material culture in the region - a sign "of all that needs to be done in those strange, deeply sunk, unending valleys" (p. 91). In the mid-1930s, Caton-Thompson, triumphant after becoming the first female recipient of the Rivers Memorial Medal for anthropology, developed an interest in early contacts between Africa and southern Arabia. Around the same time, she was introduced to Stark at a meeting arranged by the orientalist Rhuvon Guest, during which Stark discussed her intention to return to the Hadhramaut. While they did not see eye to eye, "Stark may have thought that an expedition in the company of a distinguished archaeologist would enhance her own reputation as a scientific explorer" (Drower, p. 369). Joined by Gardner, they set off for Aden in October 1937 and departed Makalla on 13 November. Over the next five months, Caton-Thompson and Gardner worked a site at Hureidha in the Wadi 'Amd, with Stark pursuing her own projects. The present lecture surveys the temples, graves, inscriptions and objects excavated by Caton-Thompson and her team, supported by an illustration of the impressions of four seals she found in ancient tombs. Not in Macro. Margaret S. Drower, "Gertrude Caton-Thompson, 1888-1985", in Getzel M. Cohen and Martha Sharp Joukowsky (eds.), Breaking Ground: Pioneering Women Archaeologists, 2004, pp. 351-379. Large octavo, pp. 79-92 within the journal. Original red card wrappers, spine and front cover lettered in black. With half-tone plate. Spine and wrappers lightly toned and faded, slightly cocked, spotting to top edge, text clean. A near-fine copy.
