Libuše Jansová – Czechoslovakia’s First Professional Female Archaeologist

Summary/Abstract: Libuše Jansová – Czechoslovakia’s First Professional Female Archaeologist Until the mid-20th century, archaeology was a male domain. In Czech archaeology there were women who assisted their archaeologist husbands (or fathers) in their work and their archaeological research at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The first professional female archaeologist in Czechoslovakia was Libuše Jansová, who graduated from the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in 1928. Jansová worked at the State Institute of Archaeology (1929–1934) and later returned in 1950. In 1951–1963 she led the most extensive and thorough excavations of the Celtic fortifications at Hrazany and then at Závist near Prague (1963–1973). Libuše Jansová went on to become the country’s leading expert in the research of the La Tène culture’s settlement in Czechoslovakia.
