Research interests

Bright Edge Deep project

I am an archaeological scientist working within tenvironmental archaeology and palaeoecology (Quaternary entomology). I am interested in understanding the socio-ecological dynamics of past human populations from northern temperate environments to the Mediterranean.

My primary expertise lies in the analysis of Holocene cultural landscapes and ecosystems using palaeoenvironmental (especially insects, pollen data and other biological & geochemical proxies) climate, archaeological and ¹⁴C data, underpinned by sound chronological understandings. I work both at the site level, investigating the physical and environmental context of archaeological sites using a range of techniques to extract and analyse proxy data from soils and sediments, though to the landscape and regional scale, using ‘big data’ approaches to synthesize diverse lines of evidence. My research sheds light on the processes that drive landscape change, including shifts in cultural land-use through time such as the transition to early agriculture, showing how anthropogenic and other processes have shaped our historic and current environments. I have a long-standing interest in the study of wetland archaeology and environments.

My interests span from reconstructing past vegetation and climatic histories, the modelling of ecological and human processes of change, people-environment co-evolutionary dynamics, long-term trajectories of biodiversity and sustainability in prehistoric societies, the origin and transition to agriculture & complexity and how communities and societies become resilient to change over space and time. Agriculture has had an immense impact on humans and non-humans and the future of our world is linked to making agriculture sustainable by maintaining and enhancing biodiversity, understanding traditional agricultural knowledge and mitigating environmental impacts. Archaeology can play a key role in all these lines of investigation. My contention is that modern biodiversity, ecosystems and landscapes are formed as a consequence of these historical processes and understanding the environmental past is key, both in terms of understanding past human behaviours and understanding our present and future.

In recent years, I have further focused on the character of early agricultural systems, where, what and how people were growing crops and grazing animals, implications for land usage and impacts on landscapes, biological and biophysical systems. I have a particular fondness for working within the Mesolithic and Neolithic time periods, but I also work on later prehistoric and historic periods.

Key areas for my work are the North Atlantic region, in Ireland and Britain and their Atlantic fringe context, linking through to the Mediterranean. My research has been funded by NERC, AHRC, ERC, HLF, Heritage Council, British Academy, Royal Society.
