Margaret Maitland Howard, professionally and commonly known as Marjorie Maitland Howard (31 July 1898 – 31 August 1983)[1] was a versatile modeller, sculptor, and book illustrator who was associated with the Institute of Archaeology in London where she worked from 1948 to 1960.

Daughter of artist and civil servant Henry James Howard,[2][3] Margaret (she was always however known as "Marjorie") Maitland Howard was born 31 July 1898 in Barnet, and grew up at Sutton, Surrey, where she spent most of her life.

In 1946, she illustrated Frederick Zeuner's Dating the past: An introduction to geochronology[4] which went through several editions and was still in print in 1970.

From 1948 until her retirement in 1960, she worked at the Institute of Archaeology, now part of University College London.

She created models for Frederick Zeuner to use in his lectures and busts of V. Gordon Childe (c.1958) and Mortimer Wheeler.
