The original edition had a wonderfully misogynist couple of paragraphs
about women doing fieldwork, and how men would be constantly jumping up to
help them with their wheelbarrows, and how men couldn't be men 'cause they
might hurt themselves and feel the need to swear, but couldn't because the
words might fall upon a woman's delicate ear...etc, etc. Women volunteers
come in for particularly rough treatment...something about high heels and
low decolletage.

Didn't Ivor Noel-Hume believe that women did not belong in the field
because they were the weaker sex?

Oxbow had it on sale in paperback recently.  I gave copies to the
staff, made me look generous til they figured out how cheap the books
were.
