Biography
I conduct research on the archaeology of the Roman Empire. This research has focussed on the integration of indigenous populations under an imperial power, and research methods, especially related to survey and remote sensing, focused on Britain and western Europe and the late Iron Age, Roman and early medieval periods. I am currently engaged in field projects focussing on central Italy and northern England.
