Lucy Wilson

Lucy Wilson is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of New Brunswick (Saint John campus). Her research focuses on geoarchaeological methods, lithic raw material procurement, and Middle Paleolithic strategies. She has authored several books and publications on Neanderthal behavior, raw material economics, and prehistoric resource management.

Education: PhD (specific field not stated in text).

Research Interests: Wilson’s work integrates archaeological and geological approaches to study human-landscape interactions. Key areas include lithic technology, spatial analysis of resource selection, and environmental contexts of Paleolithic subsistence. She has conducted fieldwork in France, Israel, and Canada, examining sites like the Bau de l’Aubesier and Qesem Cave.

Recent Research Trends: Her recent articles emphasize blind testing of lithic analysis methods, Neolithic/Early Bronze Age procurement patterns, and techno-typological studies of Paleolithic tools. She collaborates internationally, particularly in Israel and France.

Professional Contributions: Editor of multiple volumes, including *Human Interactions with the Geosphere* (2011) and *Reconstructing Human-Landscape Interactions* (2007). Active in geoheritage initiatives, such as Stonehammer Geopark.

Labs/Teams: Engaged in the Vaucluse Raw Material Project and collaborations at Qesem Cave, Israel. Supervises interdisciplinary teams applying gravity models and GIS to archaeological questions.
