Dr Alice Watterson is an archaeologist and digital artist whose practice-based research explores the use of visualisation for public engagement and outreach. Since completing her PhD in 2014 she has worked across academia and creative practice to develop research strands in community co-design and multi-vocality in science communication for the heritage and museums sectors. Her interdisciplinary background facilitates this work by allowing her to fluently negotiate the space between the specialist insights of archaeologists and general audiences. Her current research focusses on community co-design working with and for Indigenous source-communities in the circumpolar north. In addition to her academic research, her visualisation work has been commissioned and shown internationally in museums, schools and on-site interpretation.

Hi Alice, read your ‘Ask an Archaeologist’ interview which led me here.
My favourite period is the Neolithic, and my favourite place is Orkney. I have tried to get my wife to move there with me but she isn’t having it. I even told her there was an indian restaurant in Kirkwall but she still said no. Best of luck with your work-and I bet those knee patches come in handy!
Maybe take her to visit one of the more remote isles like Westray, then when you return to Kirkwall it will feel like a bustling metropolis! Unfortunately those aren’t knee patches in the pic, it’s just dried on mud!!
Could have been worse, could have been cow pats 🙂
