About
I have recently completed a D.Phil. in Archaeology at the Donald Baden-Powell Quaternary Research Centre, University of Oxford. Up until relatively recently I was an associate lecturer at the Department of Anthropology & Geography, School of Social Sciences & Law, Oxford Brookes University where I was teaching a module on an introduction to prehistoric archaeology.
I am now writing a number of follow up papers associated with my doctoral research. I have just commenced a new project re-analysing the work of Francis Buckley including a full lithic analysis of the assemblages he recovered, and also a historiographic study of his field notebooks. I also have recently been appointed to the post of Editor of Forum- the journal of CBA Yorkshire Branch.
My research interests focus on chipped stone tool technology, tool using behaviour and raw materials exploitation. This mostly applies to Palaeolithic & Epi-Paleolithic/Mesolithic hunter-gatherer behaviour within the landscape and how technology played a role in mobility. I am also therefore interested in the origins of agriculture, Hominin archaeology, evolution and palaeontology (particularly cognitive abilities and tool technology). Associated with these I am also interested in archaeological methodology and theory with reference to lithics analysis.
