My work

Here’s a selection of my papers, lectures, education resources and professional reports. It’s not exhaustive, but gives some idea of the range of stuff I’m happy to do:

This document gives an overview of my standard terms and charges:

For finds work, my main areas of focus are:

  • prehistoric pottery from southern England, Wales, and the Midlands;
  • prehistoric worked flint;
  • Roman pottery in the Midlands and South-West England;
  • medieval pottery from the Midlands;
  • post-medieval pottery across Britain.

If your needs fall outside these areas, there’s a good chance I may be able to assist, but some specialist work is regionally-specific. Hopefully I’ll be able to help. If I can’t, I’ll probably know someone who can.

In addition to artefact analysis, I illustrate artefacts for publication or publicity, saving clients time and money. I can produce live sketches, animations, videos or blogs to bring the finds to life for a wide range of audiences.

I do talks and lectures both in-person and online, for schools, local interest groups, local history and archaeology societies, and FE/HE groups. I have particular expertise in dealing with legacy museum collections and archives, especially those relating to contested heritage, unpublished sites, and antiquarian investigations.
