Marianne Cardale obtained her master's degree at the University of Edinburgh in 1965 and her PhD in 1972 at the University of Oxford with a thesis named Techniques of Hand-weavíng and allied arts in Colombia.[1][2] From 1970 to 1974 she worked at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá.[2]

Cardale de Schrimpff has been active in the establishment of the Calima Gold Museum in Cali, in the region of the Calima. She also co-founded the Pro Calima group on the Calima culture. Part of her work was on the Malagana culture, about pre-Columbian roads,[3] and other aspects of the Calima culture. Schrimpff has written about the Herrera Period, the Muisca people and their salt production in the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes and about textiles in different parts of the country.[1]

Cardale de Schrimpff has worked with other Muisca scholars and archaeologists in Colombia, including Sylvia Broadbent, Gonzalo Correal Urrego, Ana María Groot, and Leonor Herrera.

Her maiden name is Cardale, and "de Schrimpff" refers to her husband, aerial photographer Rudolf Schrimpff. He died on March 30, 2005, in an aviation accident.[4]
