I am sure that my colleague Bill Frazer is well aware of David
Crossley's MA in Historical Archaeology. David also contributes to
undergraduate teaching in our department.There are a number of people in Sheffie
ld
 who would happpily call themselves historical archaeologists.
 
I have been conducting research on 18th and 19th century settlements
 in the Outer Hebrides, of Scotland examining the archaeology of the Highland Cl
earances.
 I also have a related project which is attempting to explore such things as the
 
relationship between material culture and ethnicity/social memory by
tracing  emigrants to their new homes in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.  This is call
ed the
Highland settler Project. Preliminary fieldwork started on this
project last September.
