Though not of the first rank of famous archaeologists, Guest made a contribution to archaeology in the first half of the twentieth century, assisting such luminaries as Margaret Murray (1863\u20131963) and Gertrude Caton-Thompson (1888\u20131985) in their excavations in the Mediterranean. But why did Guest visit the megaliths in the Alentejo region of Portugal in 1934? Based on unpublished contemporary sources, such as diaries, letters and photographs, this paper suggests that Guest\u2019s presence on the Iberian Peninsula was linked to the ambitions of Manuel Heleno (1894\u20131970), the second director of the National Archaeological Museum in Lisbon. Studies on megalithic Alentejo were at this time still in their infancy, and Heleno hoped to raise the profile of such studies and the museum with an enterprising schedule of excavations that would attract notable archaeologists and the ensuing publicity. Heleno\u2019s aspirations were successful: archaeologists such as Hugo Obermaier, Vera and Georg Leisner and, of course, Edith Guest took an interest in the fieldwork, helping to bring it to wider attention in Portugal and elsewhere.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0003581519000052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]],"date-time":"2019-07-25T08:01:16Z","timestamp":1564041676000},"page":"399-415","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["AN ENGLISHWOMAN IN THE ALENTEJO: EDITH GUEST AND THE STUDY OF MEGALITHISM IN PORTUGAL IN THE 1930s"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"\u00c1vila de Melo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Lu\u00eds","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0003581519000052_ref16","unstructured":"de Melo, A \u00c1 and Cardoso, J L 2014. \u2018Virg\u00ednia Robertes Rau: uma medievalista na Pr\u00e9-Hist\u00f3ria\u2019, Estudos Arqueol\u00f3gicos de Oeiras, 21, 511\u201346"},{"key":"S0003581519000052_ref17","volume-title":"Hist\u00f3ria do Museu Etnol\u00f3gico Portugu\u00eas (1893\u20131914)","author":"de Vasconcelos","year":"1915"},{"key":"S0003581519000052_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14195\/1647-8657_54_3"},{"key":"S0003581519000052_ref18","volume-title":"My First Hundred Years","author":"Murray","year":"1963"},{"key":"S0003581519000052_ref12","volume-title":"Antiguidades Monumentaes do Algarve.
