Jacquetta Hawkes, née Hopkins, (August 5 1910-March 18 1996) was a British archaeologist.
From 1953, she was married to J.B. Priestley, her second husband. She is perhaps best known generally for her book A Land (1951). She was a prolific writer on subjects quite removed from her principal field. She was above all interested in discovering the lives of the peoples revealed by scientific excavations. Her work was criticised by subsequent archaeologists for its apparent lack of objectivity.
