= Joanna Bruck = Joanna Bruck (MA, PhD, FSA ) is a professor in Archaeology at the University of Bristol.

Career
Bruck received both her BA and PhD in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, where she later held a Junior Research Fellowship at Clare Hall. Prior to her appointment at Bristol she was Senior Lecturer at the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin.

Bruck specializes in the British and Irish Bronze Age and has published a number of works on funerary archaeology, material culture studies, ontology and archaeological theory. Citing the treatment of the human body and concepts of the self among her primary interests, her scholarly work also reflects her exploration of depositional practices and how these may reveal meanings and values ascribed to objects. Further works study the relationship between space and society, ranging from domestic architecture and to the changing organization of landscape.

Bruck is on the editorial boards of PAST and Archaeological Dialogues and co-organises the Bronze Age Forum.
