Eleanor Scott (born 8 July 1960) is a British archaeologist and politician.

[2] She graduated from Newcastle University in 1982, subsequently completing her PhD on Romano-British villas funded by the Isle of Man.

[1] TRAC was founded as a response of criticism in the late 1980s of a lack of theoretical basis in Roman archaeology and the conference has since become an annual series.

The progression of scholars participating in these conferences into academia and museums has consequently positioned theory at the core of Roman Archaeology and changed the direction of the discipline.

[4] Scott was a Liberal Democrat member of Portsmouth City Council from 2002 to 2015, and she resigned in January 2014.
