Faculty Member, Archaeology

About

I'm an archaeologist who originally specialised in the study  of prehistoric flint tools but then moved into public archaeology and heritage education. I am Head of Education at the Council for British Archaeology. I am involved in research in the archaeological landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, as well as the history of Anglo-Saxon England and early medieval Britain, and Old English language and literature.

My interest in public heritage covers both theoretical issues of public engagement with the past and with professional engagement with the public, and practical issues of narrative creation and communication within heritage.

I have a keen interest in the portrayal of the past and of archaeology on television and in feature films.

I have a great love of walking, the Pennine landscapes of northern England, good traditional British food (indeed food of all kinds really), real ale, and Japanese language and culture.
