British adventurer, writer, antiquarian Lady Hester Stanhope died #OTD in 1839.

She is best known for her unconventional lifestyle & extensive travels in the Middle East during the early 19th century. Her excavation of Ascalon in 1815 is considered the first to use modern archaeological principles, & her use of a medieval Italian document is described as "one of the earliest uses of textual sources by field archaeologists".
