'''Lisa Ann Lodwick''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FSA|}} (21 July 1988 – 3 November 2022) was a British archaeologist who studied charred, mineralised and waterlogged macroscopic plant remains, and used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis to understand the crop husbandry practices of the ancient Romans.
Lodwick's pioneering archaeobotanical studies at Calleva Atrebatum demonstrated the import and consumption of celery, coriander and olives in Insula IX prior to the Claudian Conquest.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lodwick|first=Lisa|date=2014-09-01|title=Condiments before Claudius: new plant foods at the Late Iron Age oppidum at Silchester, UK|journal=Vegetation History and Archaeobotany|language=en|volume=23|issue=5|pages=543–549|doi=10.1007/s00334-013-0407-1|bibcode=2014VegHA..23..543L |s2cid=128753215|issn=0939-6314}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lodwick|first=Lisa A.|date=2016-01-07|title='The debatable territory where geology and archaeology meet': reassessing the early archaeobotanical work of Clement Reid and Arthur Lyell at Roman Silchester|journal=Environmental Archaeology|language=en|volume=22|issue=1|pages=56–78|doi=10.1080/14614103.2015.1116218|bibcode=2017EnvAr..22...56L |s2cid=162420770|issn=1461-4103|url=https://centaur.reading.ac.uk/54531/1/Lodwick_2016.pdf}}</ref> She jointly won the 2020 Book of the Year Award at the Archaeology Awards for ''Life and death in the countryside of Roman Britain''.
