About
I am Professor of Archaeology and currently Associate Dean for Education in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
Research
Research interests
- The development of Archaeological method, particularly the use of digital and computational methods including GIS, spatial technologies, digital photography, image processing and 3D methods
- The later prehistory of Southern Britain and southern Iberia
- Later prehistoric Rock Art, notably the so-called ‘warrior stelae’ of the southwestern Iberian late Bronze Age
Current research
I am currently seconded 80% to the Faculty as Associate Dean for Education, but maintain an active interest in Archaeology, particularly Iberian later prehistory. In collaboration with Prof Leonardo Garcia Sanjuan of the University of Seville I co-directed excavations at the Peña de los Enamorados, near Antequera, Spain in 2020 and will be joining Dr Marta Diaz Guardamino (Durham University) and Leo Garcia in June 2022 to help investigate the landscape setting of a later Bronze Age 'Warrior Stele' at Cañaveral de Leon.

Biography
I completed my BSc in Archaeology at University College Cardiff in 1988 and came to Southampton to study for an MSc in Archaeological Computing which I completed in 1989. That was followed by a PhD that took me into the emerging field of Geographic Information Systems and their application to Archaeology, completed in 1993. I joined the academic staff in the Department of Archaeology in 1994.
