Rate My Professor Emilie Dotte

Dotte's research centers on relationships between people and forests across Australia and the Pacific, archaeobotany in the Indo-Pacific region, and the historiography of archaeology, with a focus on women's hidden contributions documented in her ARC DECRA-funded 'Pacific Matildas: Finding the women in the history of Pacific archaeology' project, which developed the Pacific Matildas Bibliographic Database and Geographical Visualisation tools. She leads additional funded initiatives, including the ARC project 'How the land became Country: the archaeology of people and trees in Oceania' (2026-2030), 'Investigating the archaeological values of Marra cultural heritage sites' (2024-2028), and international collaborations like 'PASTAtolls: Multidisciplinary Approach of Polynesian Atolls Socio-ecosystems in Time' with the French National Research Agency. Her prolific output exceeds 40 items, featuring peer-reviewed articles such as 'A micro-geoarchaeological investigation of a cultivation pit (maite) on Teti'aroa atoll, Central-East Polynesia' (2025, Archaeology in Oceania), 'Collaborative anthracology and cultural understandings of wood charcoal in Marra Country (northern Australia)' (2024, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences), 'THE SIZE INHERITED AGE EFFECT ON RADIOCARBON DATES OF ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS' (2024, Radiocarbon), 'Inherited age of floating charcoal fragments in a sand-bed stream, Macdonald River, NSW, Australia' (2023, Holocene), and 'How Linguistic Data Can Inform Archaeological Investigations' (2023, Open Archaeology). Through these contributions, Dotte advances inclusive histories of science and methodological innovations in archaeobotany.
