Personal Profile

I have over fifteen years experience examining Late Upper Palaeolithic to Bronze Age lithic assemblages, amounting to some 160,000 artefacts. I have produced in excess of two hundred assessment reports for commercial archaeological organisations and I have taken many assemblages through analysis to publication (see publications). I currently analyse flint for a over dozen commercial archaeological organisations and universities, with sites extending from Devon to Kent and as far north as Caithness.   As an experienced researcher and field archaeologist (see projects), each analysis is tailored to provide maximum information in relation to the archaeological context of the assemblage and current research agendas, so providing good value and an efficient service. Also, as an experienced flintknapper I frequently demonstrate this ancient technology to the public at open days and replicate artefacts for museum displays and handling collections. 

I also have many years of experience working as a Researcher and Project Officer for one of the countries largest archaeological organisations. As a result, I am experienced in the production of Desk Based Assessments, Research and Project Designs, Evaluation Reports, Post-excavation Assessments and Updated Project Designs and Publication text.  My research is primarily focussed on the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age of England and Scotland. 

I am a Member of the Institue for Archaeologists (MIfA), a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Chair of the Lithic Studies Society.
