Grounds for election

After completing postgraduate degrees at Oxford, I worked on post-doctoral prehistoric landscape projects, followed by a research project examining the potential of new datasets for the study of prehistoric Indian metallurgical datasets. I have received and carried out grants from the British Academy (Indian copper) and Historic England (geophysics driven by solar farms). I lecture for the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education, supervise DPhils and teach undergrads at Oxford. For 7 seasons I was the Assistant Director of the Discovering Project and co-directed the Pattanam Excavation in Kerala. I’m Director of the Great Ouse Ancient Landscapes for the last 5 years. I have worked commercially for Oxford Archaeology and currently work for the Chilterns Conservation Board, running 'Beacons of the Past', an NLHF funded investigation of Chiltern hillforts, leading the largest high resolution archaeological LiDAR survey ever flown in the UK. https://chilternsbeacons.org
