Caroline Rosa Wickham-Jones FSA (25 April 1955 – 13 January 2022) was a British archaeologist specialising in Stone Age Orkney. She was a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen until her retirement in 2015. Wickham-Jones was born in Stockton-on-Tees, England, on 25 April 1955. She studied archaeology at the University of Edinburgh and obtained a master's degree in Heritage Management from the University of Birmingham. From 2006 to 2015, she was lecturer in archaeology at the University of Aberdeen. Her research at Aberdeen, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, focused on the submerged landscape of Orkney around Scapa Flow. As a specialist on the Mesolithic, she collaborated on the University of Aberdeen's 'Rising Tide' project and the University of the Highlands and Islands' 'Turning Back the Tide' project. She saw the role of archaeological work in contributing to wider discussions about responses to climate change. She felt that understanding how our ancestors lived held important “keys to our continued existence”. She also helped establish the Mesolithic Room at the Tomb of the Eagles Museum on Orkney.
