Jodie Lewis

Jodie Lewis is a British archaeologist specialising in the study of prehistory. She is a lecturer at the University of Bradford. She was elected as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2015. Before joining Bradford in 2022, Lewis lectured at the University of Wales, Bangor, the University of West of England, and the University of Worcester. She is a council member of The Prehistoric Society.

Education Lewis went on her first archaeological dig while studying for her A-levels. She went on to study archaeology at the University of Bristol, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1995, a Master of Arts degree in 1996, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 2001. Lewis became interested in mortuary archaeology during her undergraduate degree. Lewis' PhD was supervised by Richard J. Harrison. In a review for the Prehistoric Society, Clive Bond described the book as "refreshing" and "worthy of reading by all not familiar with Somerset prehistory. A diversity of evidence is synthesised and succinctly presented".

In the 2008–09 academic year, Lewis carried out investigations at Priddy Circles with funding from the Society of Antiquaries and the Mendip Society.

In 2011, Lewis edited a book on the archaeology of Mendip, and in a review Andrew Reynolds remarked that "With any luck this well-produced book will succeed in bringing the impressive archaeology of the Mendips to a much wider audience".

At Worcester, Lewis was course leader for an undergraduate and a post-graduate course in archaeology (Archaeology and Heritage Studies BA, and Archaeology MRes).

Lewis joined the University of Bradford as a lecturer in 2022. She is programme leader for BSc Archaeology and BA Heritage and Archaeology
