Thesis Title: A Fresh Look at the Development of a Neolithic Town: A Study of Intra-Site Temporality Using GIS and Related Technologies at Çatalhöyük, Turkey.

About

Since October 2009 I have been working part-time on my PhD, looking at intra-site spatio-temporal analysis of complex stratigraphy. My research focusses upon data from the well know Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük, Turkey and aims to use GIS and related technologies to examine the way in which we structure, use and query temporal aspects of our excavation data.

I have been working as a professional archaeologist for the last 12 years. The latter half of that time has been spent as a freelancer working for various large research projects. This has given me the opportunity to work extensively in Italy, Iceland, Turkey, Egypt and the Middle East. Prior to this I spent several years in the UK commercial sector working for Birmingham Archaeology (then B.U.F.A.U., 1999-2000) and Pre-Construct Archaeology (London, 2000-2004).

I graduated with a BA (Hons.) in Archaeology from the University of Nottingham in 1997 and with an MA in Field Archaeology from the University of York in 1998.
