Dr Kate Cameron is an archaeologist with experience in cultural heritage management and archaeological research in Australia and Southeast Asia. She holds a PhD in Archaeology from James Cook University, where her research explored the lives of past communities through the study of pottery and everyday material culture across an ancient mining landscape in Laos.

Kate’s work focuses on understanding the relationships between people, places and material culture. She has contributed to a wide range of cultural heritage projects across Queensland, including mining, infrastructure, development and land management projects, with particular interests in archaeological interpretations, cultural landscapes and the ways material remains can illuminate everyday life, knowledge and community connections.

Prior to joining Turnstone Archaeology, Kate spent more than a decade undertaking archaeological research and heritage work in Southeast Asia. She has lectured in archaeology at James Cook University, delivered cultural heritage workshops for government agencies, presented research at national and international conferences. Through both research and consulting practice, Kate is committed to approaches that recognise the value of cultural knowledge, lived experience and meaningful engagement with communities in understanding the past.
