Biography
She grew up in Brazil and later moved to England for academic purposes. She originally studied at the Central School of Art in London, then later went on to pursue a MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at the UCLA. She received her Phd at the Institute of Archaeology at University College London. As an honorary research associate, she founded the Cusichaca Archaeological Project (CAP) in 1977. This project allowed for research on landscapes and irrigation systems in place in the Peruvian Andes. Creating one of the biggest projects in the area, she became a pioneering archaeologist.

Establishing the Cusichaca Trust in 1977, Anne Kendall worked actively as both the founder of the trust and director for 40 years. The trust led to projects other than the CAP despite initially focusing on a select few areas throughout Peru. Additionally, the trust focused on rural development with particular attention paid to agricultural systems. Not only focusing on archaeology, the Cusichaca Trust helped to work on excavations and other projects including canal and terrace restoration and ethnography. The trust played a major role in reconstructing and helping to create basic services to the communities in which the sites were. The projects involved were engaged by and focused on the community all while incorporating different fields such as rural development and botany. There is an archive currently being created that will digitally incorporate unpublished works from both the Cusichaca Arcaheological Project and from the Cusichaca Trust to be integrated within the Senate House Library.

At 80 years old, she passed away on Feb. 23, 2019 later on after moving to Spain. Before moving, she had retired in the UK and lived there with her husband.
