British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow:
"East meets West: Mobility and cultural contact between the Mediterranean and western Britain in the early medieval period, c.400 - 800 A.D."
PhD
My doctoral research undertook a multidisciplinary investigation of eight well-preserved early medieval cemetery populations from western Britain; Brownslade, West Angle Bay, Porthclew, Llandough and Llanbedrgoch from Wales and Peel Castle, Balladoole and Cronk keeillane from the Isle of Man. The aim was to provide a biocultural interpretation of life and death in early medieval western Britain, focusing specifically on reconstructing individual life histories through osteological and stable isotope analysis. Isotope results for diet and mobility were considered alongside a wider corpus of archaeological, historical, osteological, and burial evidence.
