Faculty Member, Archaeology
About
I'm an early-medieval artefacts specialist, with broad interests in human-object-animal-landscape interactions. I've spent the last 7 or 8 years looking at Viking-Age hair combs, and my current areas of interest come out of this work. Research areas include personal display and the social content of technology. More generally, I'm interested in the following:
(1) Social archaeology of the Viking Age, particularly regarding environment
(2) Early medieval worked bone and antler
(3) Integration of scientific method and anthropological theory
(4) Metal-detecting and archaeology
