Jodie Lewis FSA is a British archaeologist specialising in the study of prehistory. She is a lecturer at the University of Bradford.[2] She was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2015.[3][4] Before joining Bradford in 2022, Lewis lectured at the University of Wales, Bangor, the University of West of England, and the University of Worcester. She is a council member of The Prehistoric Society.[5]

Education

Lewis went on her first archaeological dig while studying for her A-levels.[6] She went on to study archaeology at the University of Bristol, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1995, a Master of Arts degree in 1996, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 2001.[7] Lewis became interested in mortuary archaeology during her undergraduate degree. Lewis' PhD was supervised by Richard J. Harrison.[1]

Career

Lewis worked at the University of Wales, Bangor and University of West of England as a lecturer for one and two years respectively.[7]

After completed her PhD, Lewis joined the staff of the University of Worcester in 2002.[7] Lewis developed her thesis into a monograph published by Archaeopress in 2005; the book and the thesis it was based on were both titled Monuments, ritual and regionality: the Neolithic of Northern Somerset.[8] In a review for the Prehistoric Society, Clive Bond described the book as "refreshing" and "worthy of reading by all not familiar with Somerset prehistory. A diversity of evidence is synthesised and succinctly presented".[9]

In the 2008-09 academic year, Lewis carried out investigations at Priddy Circles with funding from the Society of Antiquaries and the Mendip Society.[10]

In 2011, Lewis edited a book on the archaeology of Mendip, and in a review Andrew Reynolds remarked that "With any luck this well-produced book will succeed in bringing the impressive archaeology of the Mendips to a much wider audience".[11]

At Worcester, Lewis is course leader for an undergraduate and a post-graduate course in archaeology (Archaeology and Heritage Studies BA, and Archaeology MRes).[7] Lewis' fieldwork projects have involved working with local community groups and training students from the University of Worcester. In 2019, Lewis led a team of Worcester's students and volunteer archaeologists in an excavation at Priddy in Somerset. During the work they discovered a timber circle, the first to be found in the county.[12]

Lewis joined the University of Bradford as a lecturer in 2022.[2]
