Lisa Lodwick

Lisa Ann Lodwick FSA (21 July 1988 – 3 November 2022) was a British archaeologist who studied charred, mineralised and waterlogged macroscopic plant remains, and used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to understand the crop husbandry practices of the ancient Romans.

Lodwick's pioneering archaeobotanical studies at Calleva Atrebatum demonstrated the import and consumption of celery, coriander and olive in Insula IX prior to the Claudian Conquest.

[7] Her doctoral thesis was titled An archaeobotanical analysis of Silchester and the wider region across the late Iron Age-Roman transition.

The third volume, Life and death in the countryside of Roman Britain, was written with Alexander Smith, Martyn Allen, Tom Brindle, Michael Fulford, and Anna Rohnbogner and won the Current Archaeology's 2020 Book of the Year Award.

[10][11] An advocate of open access publication in archaeology, Lodwick was a co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Theoretical Roman Archaeology Journal,[12] published by the Open Library of Humanities, and a member of the editorial board of the journal Britannia published by the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies.
