Academic Interests
I specialise in prehistoric landscapes and Environmental Archaeology, particularly geoarchaeology. My key interests are in:
- The development of prehistoric agriculture
- Human responses to climate change in the past, present and future
- Sustainability in the past, and what we can learn from early farmers and engineers
- Landscape Archaeology
I have worked in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Jordan, Israel, Greece, the Netherlands and Egypt.
