Abstract


Rosemary Cramp was the grande dame of British archaeology, a cheerful, friendly person, adored by her students and supportive of them in return. In 1971 she was appointed the first woman professor at Durham University. From 2001 to 2004 she served as President of the Society of Antiquaries of London, the most northerly based person at that time to have held the post. Her academic achievements were recognised by the state through the award of CBE in 1987 and then by her elevation to Dame in 2021, and by the academic world through the award of honorary degrees from Bradford, Cambridge, Cork, Dublin, Durham and Leicester, as well as two Festschriften.
