}}Jane Renfrew, Lady Renfrew of Kaimsthorn {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|FSA|FSAs}} is a British archaeologist and paleoethnobotanist noted for her studies on the use of plants in prehistory, the origin and development of agriculture, food and wine in antiquity, and the origin of the vine and wine in the Mediterranean.

Biography

Jane Renfrew was born to Venerable Walter Frederick Ewbank.[1] Since a young age she has shown an interest in the past, having participated in her first archaeological excavation when she was just 12 years old.[5]

As an undergraduate at New Hall College, Cambridge, she published her first book entitled "Antiquary on Horseback" (1963),[6] with her maiden name. The volume resulted from transcribing and editing manuscripts left by Thomas Machell, rector of Kirkby Thore, Cumbria. During this period she also gained an interest in botany, and consequently paleoethnobotany. At Cambridge she met Colin Renfrew, with whom she married and had 3 children (Helena Renfew-Knight, Alban Renfrew, Magnus Renfrew).[1]

She took part in excavations in Greece (Nea Nikomedeia, Saliagos and Sitagroi)[8] and the Balkans and during this time collected seeds[9] both at excavations and museums in the region, samples which would be the basis for her doctoral thesis at Cambridge.[10]

Between 1967–1972, she was a lecturer in the Department of Ancient History, at the University of Sheffield and later was a Visiting Lecturer at the Department of Archaeology of the University of Southampton.[11]

In 1981, she returned to Cambridge, where she was a Fellow and Director of Studies of Archaeology Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge[12] and the Master's wife at Jesus College (1986-1997).[11] At Lucy Cavendish College she has also held the positions of Vice-President, Secretary to the Governing Body, Tutor, College Lecturer, Fellow Librarian, Secretary to the Trustees and as Garden Steward.[11] As Garden steward she was responsible for creating in 1987 the "Anglo-Saxon Herb Garden" (a collection of plants used before 1066), which is open to the general public.[15]

In 2012 she donated a large part of her private library to Archaeological Unit and Botanical Gardens Library of the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro.[16][17][10] In acknowledgement of her donation, her work in the field of archaeology and paleoethnobotany, as well as her role in the boards of Kew Gardens and Cambridge Botanical Garden[10][17] the prehistoric garden (called "Ages of Man" / Idades do Homem) was created at the University's Botanical Gardens in her honour, which she inaugurated in 2013.[21]

Presently she is a Senior Fellow of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research[22] and Emeritus Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge.[23]
