9. Research activity (for academic staff)
My research falls under three main themes: 1. The archaeology and landscape history of state formation, social
organisation, governance and administration in Europe between the Late Roman Period and the 12th century; 2.
The archaeology of settlement, including ecclesiastical and domestic sites, in Europe between the Late Roman
period and the 16th century; 3. The development of cross-disciplinary methodology in historical archaeology. I
have a strong profile in European medieval archaeology and in the field of landscape archaeology. My research
activity is underpinned by field projects, membership of academic networks and by the management and
academic supervision of research undertaken by post-doctoral fellows funded by major grants.
Fieldwork based research
2012- Co-director (with Dr Margarita Fernandez Mier) of the Vigana Highland Settlement Project (Central
Northern Spain). Excavation and survey of multi-period mountainous region. Initial fieldwork is in progress.
2006-12 Co-director (with Dr Juan Antonio Quiros Castillo) of the Alava Rural Settlement Project (Northeastern Spain). Excavation and survey of medieval settlement in the Alava Plain exploring village origins. The
project is a collaborative venture with the University of the Basque Country. Four seasons of fieldwork have
succeeded in revealing extensive settlement and burial remains dating to between the end of the Roman period
and the 11th century. The research has provided a ‘type-site’ for the region and all fieldwork is now fully
written up with publication envisaged in 2013 for which a publisher has been secured.
2002–2005, Co-Director (with Dr John Raven, Historic Scotland) of Howmore Project, South Uist (Outer
Hebrides): recording and survey of medieval ecclesiastical complex. Two seasons of fieldwork completed with
one more scheduled for Easter 2014 when a team will be based on site with the aim of bringing the results to
publication. The project is a collaborative venture with the Universities of Glasgow and Newport.
2001-7, Director of the Buckfastleigh Project (Devon): excavation and recording of Anglo-Saxon monastery
and medieval parish church. Two seasons of fieldwork (2002 and 2005) revealed substantial evidence relating
to the development of this major Anglo-Saxon and medieval ecclesiastical complex utilising funding from the
Royal Archaeological Institute and the Dartmoor National Park Authority. The project is a collaborative
venture with the University of Newcastle and post-excavation work is nearing completion.
1998 Excavation director for UCL Novgorod Archaeological Project (Russia): excavation of complex
medieval urban deposits. This project is now completed and fully published.
1995-1996 Excavation supervisor for Aksum Archaeological Project (Ethiopia): landscape survey and
excavation project (Director: Dr D.W. Phillipson, University of Cambridge). This project is now completed and
fully published.
1992-97, Field Director, London City Churches Building Record. All buildings studied by this project are
now fully published.
1991–present, Director of Compton Bassett Area Research Project (Wiltshire): major multi-period landscape
survey and excavation project. This long-term research project is midway through the analysis of results phase.
Academic network based research
Spanish funded international academic network ‘Foundations of the European Space 2’ (invited 2010). I will be
co-editor of the volume resulting from this project.
AHRC funded network ‘Sense of Place in the Early Middle Ages’ (invited 2009)
EU funded network ‘European Assembly Places’ (invited 2008).
Spanish funded international academic network ‘Foundations of the European Space’ (invited 2005)(I was coeditor of the book resulting from this project – see publication list).
British Academy funded seminar ‘Mounds in Conversion Period Europe’ (invited 2002).
British Academy funded seminar ‘People and Space in the Early Middle Ages’ (invited 2001-4)(I was co-editor
of the book resulting from this project – see publication list).
Sachsensymposium international early medieval research seminar (membership by invitation, elected 2000)
Research Project Working Party of Medieval Settlement Research Group (co-opted 1998)
In addition to the research activity described above, in 2005 I secured a major Leverhulme award of 200k for
the 3-year project ‘Beyond the Burghal Hidage: Anglo-Saxon Civil Defence in the Viking Age’. This
undertaking involved the appointment of two full-time PDRAs (one based at UCL, the other at Nottingham).
This project succeeded in developing a robust new interdisciplinary methodology for integrating source
materials rarely considered together in an integrated way. The success of this project has been vindicated by the
subsequent award (2009) of 280k from the trust to pursue a further 3-year project concerned with the
interdisciplinary study of ‘Landscapes of Governance’ in Anglo-Saxon England. My portfolio of research
activity ensures that I have an international profile and that I am fully engaged with the international research
community within my field.
10. Teaching activity (for academic & research staff)
I have taught a broad range of the topics, methods and techniques encountered in archaeology, with particular
expertise in medieval archaeology, at both undergraduate and masters level since 1996 (at UCL and King
Alfred’s College, Winchester), both taking on existing courses and developing new undergraduate and
postgraduate options. At UCL I was Course Co-ordinator for the core undergraduate courses in British
medieval archaeology (Early Medieval Archaeology of England and Wales and Archaeology of England and
Wales 1050-1500) and am Course Co-ordinator for the MA option Select Topics and Current Problems in
Medieval Archaeology. I was Degree Co-ordinator for the Institute’s MA in Cultural Heritage Studies 19982000, which included leading the core seminar group. I was programme leader for the MA in Field
Archaeology at King Alfred’s 2001-2002. For the last 10 years I have run courses in the Early Medieval
Archaeology of Britain and Archaeological Approaches to Standing Buildings. My taught courses recruit well
and are rated consistently highly in course evaluations (4.5 and above out of 5). I am committed to and have a
particular regard for the pastoral care and personal development of students under my tutelage. I have
supervised over 100 undergraduate dissertation projects to date, including three subsequent submissions from
the Institute of Archaeology for the Royal Archaeological Institute’s dissertation awards scheme (1997-2000)
and further submissions in 2005 and 2007. One of my students won the Society for Medieval Archaeology’s
John Hurst Prize for the best undergraduate dissertation in 2012. I have supervised 50 MA dissertations with a
solid track record of distinction level passes.
11. Knowledge Transfer / Exchange activity:
I have long had a concern that the results of my research have an impact beyond the scholarly community. To
this end I have engaged in activities that bring new discoveries to a wider public in several ways. My long
involvement with the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society (both as a Trustee and as Honorary
Editor of the Society’s journal) has ensured that I engage with a range of situations relating to the public
understanding of archaeology. I have been involved in discussions relating to the future of Stonehenge, within
which the Society plays a key role, and in developing new forms of public dissemination of new knowledge (redesign and re-launch of the Society’s magazine Trilithon). I frequently give lectures and presentations to local
and regional non-professional groups and in my capacity as the Society’s Honorary Editor, I have invested
considerable time in bringing to publication the work of non-professional individuals.
I have acted as consultant and author for a children’s book on the medieval period: The Medieval Homework
Helper. London: Tick Tock Ltd.
I have appeared in a series of television programmes concerned with communicating the results of
archaeological and historical enquiry to the general public, including AD1000 (2000), The Seven Ages of
Britain (2002), Time Team (2002) and Tony Robinson’s History of English Law (2007), The Strange Case of
the Law (2011).
12. Enabling activity (academic staff):
I play a sustained and committed role in enabling activities within the Institute. I served two terms as coordinator of one of the Institute’s five research groups (Complex and Literate Societies) and am currently joint
co-ordinator of the largest of the Institute’s three sections ‘World Archaeology’. The research groups (now
Sections) act as a hub for staff and graduate students research interests and my current concern is developing
support networks and thematic seminars for graduate researchers and post-doctoral scholars. I am responsible
for biennial staff appraisals for staff members of my research group and for conducting intermediate research
reviews also on a biennial basis with a view to realising staff potential and in preparation for the forthcoming
Research Excellence Framework exercise. I also undertake a mentoring role for several probationary teaching
staff and post-doctoral researchers. I currently chair the Institute’s Administrative Staff Forum, which seeks to
foster and maintain a supportive and positive relationship between academic and support staff in the
department. I participated fully in the internal grading and authoring of the Institute’s RAE 2008 submission, a
role which is continuing in the run up to REF 2014. I organised the Institute’s principal seminar series in Term
II 2005, which attracted an internationally renowned series of speakers, and am responsible for organising the
series in Term I 2009. For the past 8 years I have served on the Institute’s Policy Group, a core strategic
committee that seeks to guide present and future policy, as well as on Research, and Research Degrees
committees and UCLs Academic Board. I was departmental representative on the national Subject Committee
for Archaeology, a role normally undertaken by the HoD, from 2007-9. I have been Graduate Admissions Tutor
at the Institute since 2010.
In 2011-12 I developed and implemented a raft of activities to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Institute of
Archaeology, including a lectures, debates, a royal visit, alumni focussed events, the re-design and re-launch of
Archaeology International, the launch of a 75th Anniversary Fund and a range of other promotional initiatives.
As Honorary Secretary of the Society for Medieval Archaeology (the principal learned society for the
promotion of the subject, recognised internationally) I sat on a range of national committees, including the
Standing Conference on Portable Antiquities, Standing Conference of National Period Societies, British and
Irish Archaeological Awards and Heritage Link. I have also prepared written statements on behalf of the
Society to English Heritage and to government ministers charged with heritage issues.
In 2008 I established the Sir David Wilson Lecture in Medieval Studies at UCL, now a major annual event in
the region, which brings medievalists working in various fields together. The Wilson lecture is now the launch
event for the long-running Institute of Archaeology/British Museum joint medieval seminar of which I have
been co-convenor since 2006. In 2009 I developed Socrates agreements with the University of Padua, the New
Bulgarian University in Sofia and the University of the Basque Country in Vitoria. Sustained international links
are further demonstrated by my having hosted a series of affiliate academics for periods ranging between 1
month and 2 years, from Bulgaria, Estonia, Norway, Spain and Sweden.
