Professor Emeritus of Roman Archaeology

Professor Simon Keay is a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton and a Fellow of the British Academy.

My main interests are the archaeology of ports, commerce, urbanism and cultural change in the early Roman Mediterranean, with a particular focus upon Italy and Iberia. I am also very interested in archaeological methodologies, particularly the application of non-destructive field techniques to archaeological sites. I have undertaken a number of field projects over the years, most recently the Ager Tarraconensis Survey, the Roman Towns in the Middle and Lower Tiber Valley, the Portus Project and the ERC Advanced Grant funded Roman Mediterranean Ports ( PortusLimen ) project.
