I am an archaeologist who specialises in studying the Iron Age and Roman transition period in temperate Europe. My research has focused on the complex role of water in the development of urban centres in early Roman Britain. I also have broader interest in theoretical approaches to landscapes and the natural world, the role of archaeology in the 'Environmental Humanities', classical reception in the modern world, and the historiography of archaeology in Britain.
Although I am originally from Northamptonshire, my academic career has largely been spent in Kent. I received my BA, MA, and PhD from the University of Kent, where I also subsequently worked as an assistant lecturer. Since 2015, I have been part of the archaeology department here at CCCU.
