Yusra

Yusra was a Palestinian woman who worked with the British archaeologist Dorothy Garrod at her excavations at Mount Carmel. Although very little is known of Yusra's life before or after, or even her full name, she was a prominent member of the excavation team between 1929 and 1935. Most notably, she is credited with the discovery of Tabun 1, a 120,000-year-old Neanderthal skull from Tabun Cave. She is the first known Palestinian archaeologist to have worked on a field excavation.
