Professor Andy Herries
Head of Department, Archaeology&History, Archaeology
I am a Professor of Palaeoanthropology and the Director of The Australian Archaeomagnetism Laboratory, part of the Archaeology's Palaeoscience Labs. I was an Australian Research Council Fellow (Australian Research Fellow and Future Fellow) between 2008 and 2016 and the founder of the Transforming Human Societies Research Focus Area in 2012. I have been the Head of Department of Archaeology and History since 2018. I am a field palaeoanthropologist who studies Human Origins with a focus on the geochronology and context (geoarchaeology) of the hominin fossil and archaeological record. I am best known for my work in South Africa where I have helped provide the dates for most of the hominin fossil sites. I also lead excavations and a field school at Drimolen Cave where my team discovered the oldest evidence for Homo erectus, as well as the Acheulian to Middle Stone Age site of Amanzi Springs
