Main activities

My background is multi-disciplinary in nature within the fields of geology and archaeology, with the focus on the application a wide range of geochemical and geochronological (e.g. radiocarbon, luminescence, cosmogenic dating) techniques aimed at understanding the relationships between people and past environments.  Main responsibilities are to provide scientific (geoarchaeological) and academic advice on Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) funded projects, act as liaison with lead bodies in archaeology and the extractive industry, whilst being active in gaining and disseminating information in UK Palaeolithic research, scientific methodological advances and planning processes across relevant academic and extractive industries.
