Archaeology Chubb has been described as an "accidental
archaeologist". Having been sent into the basement to look for a drawing that was to be included in one of the Society's publications, she found an object that would trigger her interest in archaeology, something that the previous twelve months of work had not. She then spent 1938 at the University of Chicago writing up their recent excavations. Her two main books were published in the 1950s;
Nefertiti Lived Here (1954) and
City in the Sand (1957). These books are about Chubb's 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. She curated her family's archive of the art and papers of her ancestor, the
Bridgwater artist
John Chubb (1746–1816), and wrote two articles about it in
The Countryman. The collection was sold to the
Blake Museum, Bridgwater, in 2004. ==Selected works==
