- About Me:
- I live in Glasgow, Scotland, where I'm now half way through my MA at the University of Glasgow. This year I'm focussing my interests on aspects of the Aegean bronze age, and British neolithic, but I have a lot of other wide-ranging interests within the subject; particularly, in landscape archaeology, prehistoric northern europe (although I'm starting to think it'd be nice to work somewhere a bit warmer on occasion!), and the application and interpretation of differential theories .
Before getting in to this side of things I took a BSc in Biomedical Science, before working as a session guitarist for a major label for a few years. Contrary to the claims of some of my friends, Archaeology is a far superior discipline!
I'm probably happiest travelling, exploring and so on, and I adore the north of Scandinavia (actually, the south isn't so bad either!).
If anyone fancies a bit of a chat about things, archaeological or otherwise, feel free to come say hi.

I spent last summer digging a series of neolithic dwelling depressions on the banks of the Iijoki River in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland, as well as doing a lot of experimental archaeology. This summer I'm doing the field school at the SERF project (Strathearn and Forteviot Environs Project) in Perthshire, Scotland; doing survey and excavation of a neolithic henge and cursus, and an Iron Age hillfort. Should be fun! Should also be digging a viking longhouse in the far north of Scotland towards the end of the summer, should time allow it.

The public aspect is nice, as is being able to give people a view of the mesolithic and neolithic that isn't based on the Clan of the Cave Bear (adults) or the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series (kids) and seeing their reactions.
In the southwestern US are a lot of cliff dwellings and pit houses.
I like the idea of working with several different countries to build the archaeological record
Thank you for that, i'll deffinutly check them out. I have a placement for this summer. But hopefully i'll get one through them for next summer!
Thankx again
