Background and Research
I studied at Durham University and the University of Tromsø, Norway. I previously worked as a pipeline archaeologist for British Gas Construction, in commercial archaeological consultancy and fieldwork, and as a temporary lecturer at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL. My research focuses on the early medieval period in Europe and the North Atlantic zone, within a landscape context. I am interested in coastal archaeology, trade and trading sites, past climatic and environmental change, geophysical prospection, and community archaeology.
