Amber McNamara

My background is in English Literature and I have a Masters in Creative Writing. After a stint in academia and teaching, I decided to retrain and pursue my passion for storytelling through the medium of social media. I love learning from our incredibly knowledgeable team and take great pleasure in drawing out the human story behind each artefact.

In my current role, I support with the scheduling and management of Wessex Archaeology’s social media as well as creating content, copywriting and handling press enquiries. I have always loved history and share our audience’s excitement for uncovering the past. My working day is wonderfully varied; I could be writing about a Bronze Age child’s doodle in the morning, and an Anglo-Saxon cemetery by the afternoon!

When I’m not working, you can find me making unsightly ceramic figurines at my local pottery class or curled up in my reading nook with some non-fiction.
