Archaeology is for everyone and I love running courses on archaeology that stimulate discussion and debate and where we get to talk about real sites and see real finds. Some of my courses are held at the City Lit, in London near Holborn Station, and I tailor courses elsewhere to meet the needs of your local society or museum.
Particularly popular is my Taste of Archaeology day which is a fun introduction to what
archaeologists do and how they do it- and where we get to work with real archaeological finds! I've received excellent feedback on this course: comments include excellent well presented hands on activities were a brilliant way of making us think excellent info and background of what professional actually do clearly taught tutor has a wonderfully clear voice interactive the balance of the course was very well thought out..no-one would feel intimidated by the class/individual/ group work an insightful exploration of what archaeology really is and isn't!
I have worked for number of years as a field archaeologist and for over a decade worked for English Heritage. I have a BA in Archaeology and a recently awarded MA in Managing Archaeological Sites from the Institute of Archaeology, UCL, where I am a Research Associate in the Centre for Applied Archaeology. I am also qualified in teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Recently I have been working on a Conservation Management Plan for a World War II airfield, and on archaeological desk based assessments, in and around London.
My interests are as diverse as prehistoric sites of the UK, to the archaeology of contemporary (modern day) sites. I love visiting sites of all types in my spare time.
