Welcome to my new blog!
Hello to all of you!
Recently I have been asked by a number of fellow academics to showcase some of the work I do in relation to archaeological research and reconstruction. I am primarily an archaeologist with research interests in ethics, experimental forms of reconstructing the past and the links between how we study the past in the present relating to theory and philosophy of science. Secondarily (but by no means without just as much gusto) I am a musician and have been researching, for the last 3 years, aspects of the sensory interactions in the archaeological record. That is to say, work going forward will encapsulate a number of different angles to experimental archaeology in both prehistory and early historic periods.
I will be also be concentrating on aspects of what experimental archaeology means today - and how this translates to education of young people and the inspiration they get from the hands on approach to the past. My work focuses on prehistoric and early historic sensory archaeology in Western Europe - but there are also a number of collaborative ventures in the pipeline to work with scholars in South America & the Middle East.
