Emma Watts

Emma Watts is an Archaeologist/Heritage Advisor with over two years of experience in the Victorian heritage management industry. With a passion for stone artefact analysis, Emma is currently undertaking the use-wear analysis of silcrete artefacts as part of her experimental research at La Trobe University.

Emma has worked on various archaeological excavations both locally and overseas, including an exciting Mycenean dig in Greece in 2017, as well as Roman excavations near the city of Naples, Italy in 2018.

Emma’s specialist expertise is lithic recording and analysis, however her skills extend to writing salvage reports, archaeological survey, manual sub surface testing and salvage excavation and site recording.

When she’s not at work, Emma loves being outdoors amongst nature, creating art, pole dancing and collecting Darth Maul memorabilia (she even has a Darth Maul tattoo!)
