Dr Susanna Harris

  • Senior Lecturer (Archaeology)

Research interests

My research investigates the material culture of past societies. I specialise in the analysis of textiles and leather using scientific, theoretical and experimental approaches. In summary:

  • Artefacts and material culture
  • Textile specialist
  • Deep history to early medieval
  • Northwest Europe and central Mediterranean
  • Cloth and clothing

I gained my first degree in archaeology at the University of Durham, Master's and PhD at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. I have held research positions in Italy, Germany and the UK. Since 2008 my research has been funded the British Academy, Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, Carnegie Trust for the University of Scotland, and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

My publications include co-edited volumes ‘Textiles in Ancient Mediterranean Iconography’, ‘Wrapping and Unwrapping Material Culture: Archaeological and Anthropological Approaches’ and ‘Why Leather? The material and cultural dimensions of leather’. I I share my research through academic publications, broadcasts and social media channels such as Youtube.

Current activities

I am co-investigator of the AHRC funded project ‘Unwrapping the Galloway Hoard’, and lead investigator for ‘Fibres and Fabrics from Must Farm Bronze Age Pile-Dwelling’.

Collaborations

I work with museums, commercial archaeology units and government bodies to analyse textiles, basketry and leather from archaeological sites. In practice, my research involves the identification, recording and sampling of artefacts across a wide network of museums and archives in Europe and the Mediterranean.
