Liz Robertson

Liz is a Calgary-based professional archaeologist and Indigenous knowledge facilitator who works throughout northern and western Canada. She holds a bachelor of science and doctorate in archaeology from the University of Calgary, and she also has a master of art conservation, specializing in archaeological and ethnographic objects, from Queen's University. 

In addition to her current work in Canada, she's also enjoyed opportunities to do fieldwork in Greenland, Pakistan, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mozambique, and to do conservation and interpretive work at museums in Whitehorse, Yellowknife, New York City, and Washington, DC. Most recently, her focus has been on documenting how Indigenous knowledge can guide understanding of past and current landscapes and improve land use management practices and decisions moving into the future. 

Liz unwinds by making wheel-thrown, hand-decorated pottery inspired by the natural and cultural experiences she encounters through her work and her travels.
