She worked at a number of sites, but is best known for her excavations at Mucking, a major Anglo-Saxon settlement and associated cemetery, with finds ranging from the Stone Age to the Medieval period. The Mucking excavation, which Jones directed from 1965 to 1978, became Britain's largest ever archaeological excavation. It produced an unprecedented volume of material, although some academic archaeologists have criticised the fact that the results did not appear in print until decades after the excavation had ended. Jones' work at Mucking, as well as her role in founding the campaign group Rescue, was influential in the establishment of modern commercial archaeology in Britain. (en)

Elle dirige plusieurs campagnes de fouilles préventives dans toute l'Angleterre, mais son nom reste associé au site de Mucking, dans l'Essex, sur lequel elle travaille de manière continue pendant treize années, de 1965 à 1978. Avec ses 18 hectares de terrain fouillés par 5 000 personnes, Mucking constitue le plus grand chantier de fouilles de l'histoire du Royaume-Uni et livre des découvertes allant du Néolithique au Moyen Âge. Les méthodes de Jones à Mucking sont l'objet de critiques par ses pairs, en particulier l'absence de publication de ses trouvailles. Elle se défend en soulignant que la menace de destruction pesant sur le site et le budget limité que lui alloue le gouvernement ne lui laissent pas le loisir de procéder aux habituelles analyses et publications post-excavation.

  • Many people were intimidated by Mucking's excavator, Mrs. Margaret U. Jones, B.A., as she signed herself, but I saw her as a role model, a strong, dedicated, no-nonsense woman of great professional skill, with a very complex and important project. I felt that earning Margaret's trust was a real honor. It was only years later, when I read some of the Mucking publications, that I learned that she had never managed anything of that scope before, and was, by her own admission, figuring things out as she went along. She did a splendid job. (en)
  • The conditions were tough: accommodation ranged from your own tent to leaking huts; food was the cheapest line from the cash and carry, creatively supplemented with wild gleanings ; and entertainment consisted of a night-time drive round one of the uncannily-automated oil-refining stations along the coast.
