Biography

In 1989 I was a trainee on the Wroxeter archaeological field school run by Phil Barker. Inspired by that experience, I went on to study for my undergraduate degree at Saint David's University College, Lampeter, Wales between 1991 and 1994. Following the completion of my Masters degree at the University of Southampton I worked full-time in commercial archaeology for a number of years, before returning to Southampton to study for my PhD.

I have worked for eleven commercial organisations across the UK and the Republic of Ireland and this experience contributed to my doctoral research project, an analysis of British 'developer-led' archaeology, which was published in 2009. Since completing my PhD in 2006 I have been employed by the Southampton City Council Archaeology Unit, and by the Institute of Field Archaeologists as an external advisor for 'Labour Market Intelligence 2007/8: Profiling the Profession 3'.

I joined the Archaeology Department in April 2008 and am predominantly involved in the teaching of applied techniques and on topics relating to commercial archaeology. I currently lead the 2nd-Year ‘Placement’ module, and the 3rd-Year ‘Project Management’ module.
