Chris Clarkson (born 22 December 1971) is a professor of archaeology at the University of Queensland, Australia. He obtained his PhD from the Australian National University on the archaeology of Wardaman Country in the Northern Territory focusing on stone tool reduction analysis and long-term cultural change. He held academic research positions at the University of Cambridge and the Australian National University before taking up his current position in the School of Social Science at the University of Queensland.

Archaeological work[edit]

Clarkson directed the most recent archaeological excavations at Australia's oldest known site of Madjedbebe from 2012–2105 which has profoundly changed understandings of the early settlement and culture of Indigenous Australians. This work was undertaken in close collaboration with the Mirarr (Bininj) traditional owners, the Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation, and a team of Australian archaeologists, and was published in Nature.[1] and subsequent articles[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The early age of the site was featured prominently in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament campaign, and the site is now detailed in the Australian National Curriculum.

Clarkson has also conducted research into the impact of the Toba Super-Eruption on Middle Palaeolithic hominins in India[10][11][12], the impact of climate change on early human populations in East Timor[13], long term demographic history of Indigenous Australia[14][15], the technological signature of early migrating Homo sapiens populations[16][17], ancient projectile technology[18][19], variability in Neanderthal stone tool manufacture[20][21], convergent technological evolution, and made important developments in stone tool analysis studies[22][23][24][25][26]
