Chloë N. Duckworth FSA FHEA is an archaeological scientist and lecturer in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University, and a presenter of The Great British Dig.
Education[edit]
After receiving her BA (Hons) in Archaeology, Duckworth was awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council to study for an MSc and subsequently a Ph.D. at the University of Nottingham.[1] Her Ph.D., awarded in 2011, was supervised by Julian Henderson and was titled The created stone: chemical and archaeological perspectives on the colour and material properties of early Egyptian glass, 1500–1200 B.C..[2]
Career and research[edit]
Duckworth joined Newcastle University in 2016,[3] following her position at the University of Leicester as a postdoctoral researcher on European Research Council funded Trans-Sahara project.[4] She held a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2015.[5] She is the director of two field projects at UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Spain: the Madinat al-Zahra Survey Project [6] and The Alhambra Royal Workshops project.[7] Her research group at Newcastle University aims to reconstruct the technology of glass in the past by using experimental reconstructions, texts, and scientific analysis.[8] She is a member of the editorial board of World Archaeology journal,[9] and an external examiner for the University of Oxford. As of 2022[update] she supervises four PhD students.[3] She was elected as a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London on 5 May 2017.[10] She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy[10] and a Member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. Until September 2021, she co-directed the Newcastle University Centre for Heritage.[11]
Recycling and Re-Use in the Roman Economy, which Duckworth co-edited with Andrew Wilson in 2020, was praised for both summarising the present research on the topic and tipped as 'surely … a starting point for further research'.[12] It was also noted as likely to 'catalyze studies of recycling and reuse in and beyond the Roman world for years to come.' by Linda R. Gosner in the American Journal of Archaeology.[13]
As well as her academic career, Duckworth is a television presenter and public speaker. In 2017 she was part of the BBC Expert Women[14] and in 2019 was a presenter at the New Scientist Live Show.[15] Since 2020 she has presented Channel 4's The Great British Dig with Hugh Dennis.[16] She authored the 2022 book to accompany the series.[17][18][19]
She was shortlisted for the Council for British Archaeology's "Outstanding Archaeological Achievement" award in 2021.[20]
In January 2022 she held the position of lecturer in archaeological materials science in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Newcastle,[3] and as of September 2022[update] she was Reader in Archaeological Science.[21]
Personal life and advocacy[edit]
In 2021, Duckworth launched the "Dig for Archaeology" campaign, which seeks to promote the positive aspects of commercial, academic and community archaeology in the UK, and to raise awareness of the threats it faces.[22][23][24] She advocates increasing diversity and representation in archaeology, and is a committee member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists's Equality and Diversity Group.[25]
She lives in Northumberland.[26]
