About

Academic history:

I completed my undergraduate degree in Archaeology at the University of Southampton, with a dissertation on the role of human remains, bodily practice and burial rites in Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Britain. A Masters degree was undertaken at the University of Manchester, with a thesis exploring the bodily gestures, technical practices, and material culture of late Mesolithic societies in southern Scandinavia. I joined the Groningen Institute of Archaeology, University of Groningen, as a doctoral researcher in 2007 studying social and technical aspects of Bronze Age metalwork in northwest Europe. I am also affiliated with the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.

- Northwest and Central European Bronze Age

- Bronze Age metalwork: techniques, typology and chronology

- Material Culture studies

- The social history and theory of Culture History in archaeology
