Hi Folks

  I am a British archaeologist and historian who flits between the Middle
Ages and later periods as well as the two disciplines. I am co-editor of
Post-Medieval Archaeology (having joined the society as a 17 year old) and I
work when I can as a freelance in commercial archaeology doing reports on
everything from documents to pots. I started out life as an excavator and
landscape archaeologist/historian but I now spend more time on ceramics and
other small objects. I am along time member of SHA (since the mid 1980s) and
a life member of CNEHA- and have an anthropological interest in both
American and Continental European historical/post-medieval archaeology and
their practitioners. My last trip across the pond was to the amazing
Newfoundland conference organised at Memorial University in 2010 when I
finally got to Red Bay having bought the booklet (the one with the nice
cover of a whaling boat)  on my first trip to SHA Richmond in 1991-  a major
culture shock.
