About

Prof. Lisa-Marie Shillito. Geordie. Coprolites. Microscopes. I work in the Department of Archaeology at Durham University, UK where I direct NEMCAS (North East Material Culture Analytical Suite), a facility specialising in producing thin sections of soil and sediments for archaeology and earth science, alongside XR-CT. NEMCAS is part of the AHRC RICHeS network and provides access for academic and GLAM partners as well as the commercial sector. Prior to joining Durham I was Director of Archaeology Labs at Newcastle University for 10 years. I started out as a geographer and along the way became a geoarchaeologist and heritage scientist. My research broadly looks at human-environment dynamics and how this changes over time in different geographic regions. I am an advocate for interdisciplinary research, and especially the interplay between STEM and SHAPE disciplines.
