Mary Chubb was a British author and archaeologist. She has been described as "the first professional excavation administrator" and also as an "accidental archaeologist". She wrote a number of books on archaeology for the general public and also children's books on people of the ancient world. She also branched out into journalism, writing for magazines such Punch and for the BBC.
Her two main books were published in the 1950s: Nefertiti Lived Here (1954) and City in the Sand (1957). These books are about her involvement in the 1930s excavations of Tell el-Amarna in Egypt, and of Ur and Eshnunna in Iraq. They were republished in the 1990s with new introductions and added epilogues.
