DrAmy Way

Amy Mosig Way is a research archaeologist in a jointly held position between the Australian Museum and the University of Sydney. Amy is a Mid Career Researcher who works closely with First Nations communities to study past human behaviour. Her expertise is in high-resolution stone artefact analysis and supporting community projects. Before coming to the Museum, Amy worked as a Native Tile anthropologist for the Northern Land Council and held a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Evolutionary Studies Institute, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa where she worked on Middle Stone Age stone artefact assemblages. In her Master of Archaeological Science degree, conferred at the Australian National University, Amy examined human-environment interactions in arid South Australia. Amy completed her PhD research at Weereewaa (Lake George, NSW), where open-air excavations revealed multiple tool crafting events. This research focused on the development of a new method for separating mixed groups of stone artefacts, with a view to describing individual stone-working activities. Amy is currently running field-based research projects with First Nations groups in NSW.
