Liam Ricketts

Liam Ricketts is a Archaeologist/ Heritage Advisor with over a year of experience in the field. Having recently completing postgraduate studies in archaeology and cultural heritage management at Flinders University in South Australia, Liam is carving a niche in the world of Australian archaeology.

Liam is fascinated by the relationships between linguistics and archaeology, as well as the submerged landscapes that surround our continent. One day he hopes to dive off the coast of northern WA/NT in search of evidence of early occupation sites.

He is skilled in lithic identification and analysis, osteology, GIS, research and has worked in South Australia including surveys, background site research and consultation with Traditional Owners and stakeholders. Liam also has experience in mechanical and manual excavation, report writing, and illustration.
