Dr. Lucy Wilson is an Associate Professor at the University of New Brunswick (Saint John).

Wilson is a geoarchaeologist, specialising in the study of the raw materials used to make stone tools during the Middle Palaeolithic period in southern France and in Israel.

Her work involves studies of petrographic, chemical, isotopic and micropalaeontological methods useful for distinguishing between rock types (especially flint) from different geologic sources, so that the sources of raw materials used to make stone tools in archaeological assemblages can be identified.

This has developed into an investigation of prehistoric strategies of transport of raw materials across the landscape, vis-à-vis distance, difficulty of terrain, and other factors, and development of gravity models and resource selection functions as a method of assessment of prehistoric behaviour with respect to lithic source use in its landscape context.
