Carole McCartney (1965 – 13 March 2021) was a Pittsburgh-born Cypriot archeologist.^[1] She studied archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, finishing her masters (1989) and her PhD (1996) with her doctoral thesis titled, The Analysis of Variability in Simple Core Technologies: Case Studies of Chipped Stone Technology in Post-PPN Assemblages from the Levant.^[1][2][3]

McCartney first traveled to Cyprus in 1987, and later acquired Cypriot citizenship.^[2] McCartney married Pambos Michael, with whom she raised two children.^[3] She lived with her family in Kissonerga, Cyprus. She took part in excavations in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean for more than 30 years. As she was a worldwide leading expert on the study of lithics, she made important finds and identifications from sites in the eastern Mediterranean region. She published numerous academic papers about them.^[2]

McCartney died on 13 March 2021.^[2][1]
