She participated in archaeological excavations at the palaeolithic site of La Cotte de St Brelade in Jersey in 1914, directed by her tutor Robert Ranulph Marett.

Rosalind was awarded the diploma in anthropology in 1917 and a BSc in 1922 for her thesis which was published in 1925 as The Life after Death in Oceania and the Malay Archipelago.

[2] Rosalind began to study Egyptology in 1917 by attending classes given by Professor Francis Griffith, who was supervising the compilation of the Topographical Bibliography.

Rosalind began work on the Theban Necropolis volume in 1924, during which time she visited many royal and private tombs in Egypt.
