About me


Commercial Archaeology

I have excavated over fifty sites between Greater London, Cambridge, and Oxford.

Sardinia

Where both I and my passion for antiquity were born: in the fishing village of Portoscuso.

A-DNA

The new frontier of my research is the ethical study of aDNA in past identity construction.

Community engagement

I have been learning from communities where the materiality of the past makes the difference.
