As a prehistoric archaeologist, I mix together scientific dating techniques (primarily radiocarbon) with stable and radiogenic isotope analysis, and add a healthy dose of Bayesian statistics to develop robust models for palaeodiet in people and animals, which are underpinned by generational chronological frameworks.

I use these models to explore questions relating to:

Archaeology of contact and colonization, particularly in late-prehistoric/Roman north-west Europe
Movement and Mobility in prehistoric societies
Archaeology of Households and Communities
Human-Environment interaction through the development of regional social and environmental histories
My personal research interests lie in and around the 1st millennium BC in north-west Europe, but I regularly work with researchers in other regions and time periods, as the techniques are widely applicable.
