Lynn Meskell is a world-renowned archaeologist and anthropologist whose work has transformed thinking on the way human society is shaped by a material world of bodies, places, things, and the ruins of the past. She is a recognized leader in fields that range from the archaeology of Egypt and Neolithic Anatolia to the ethnographic study of global heritage institutions. Her work thus moves easily across multiple fields of study, drawing together an interest in human lives and material assemblages to define new areas of investigation from social archaeology to heritage ethics and archaeological ethnography.
