RESEARCH
Roman archaeology
My interest in Roman archaeology extends from the core of the Empire (Italy) to the imperial periphery (Britain). I am currently working on the countryside, economy and demography of Italy c.500 BCE to 300 CE. In particular, I am interested in the regional similarities and differences between areas such as the hinterland of Rome (the suburbium) and more peripheral landscapes such as the Biferno valley in the Molise. I am also interested in developing agrarian approaches to the rural landscapes of Roman Italy to address issues such as social and economic organization, agricultural production, consumption and embodied experience. Recently I have been working on suburban landscapes at the interface between urban and rural as a way into addressing urbancentric bias in accounts of the Roman world. More generally, I am interested to locate the archaeology of Roman Italy within its broader Mediterranean context and I have a long-term interest in globalisation and Roman archaeology.
Landscape archaeology
I am interested in all aspects of the theory and practice of landscape archaeology from sampling patterns and statistical analysis to phenomenology and experiential surveying. I am particularly interested in how varied theories and methods can be usefully combined to enhance our understanding of past landscapes.
After completing my thesis on landscape and settlement in Roman Italy, I had the opportunity to participate in the restudy of one of the pioneering Italian (and Mediterranean) field surveys – the South Etruria Survey. As part of the Tiber Valley Project, based at the British School at Rome, I researched the impact of the emergence and transformation of the City of Rome on its northern hinterland from 1000 BCE to 1000 CE; the final project monograph can be access here. I am currently working as part of a consortium to bring together a series of regional survey databases as part of the Roman Hinterland project. As well as the rural landscapes of the pre-Roman and Roman periods, I am interested in the historiography of studies: I have supervised a recent collaborative doctoral award with the British School at Rome to explore the photographic archive of the South Etruria Survey and I am currently supervising a second award using archaeometric methods to study the survey's Roman coarsewares.
Beyond the Mediterranean, I was co-investigator on the AHRC-funded Tales of the Frontier project which explored the post-Roman history of Hadrian's Wall and the history of its study and visual representation from the writings of the Venerable Bede through to the age of the internet. In particular I focused on the the social and cultural history of this iconic monument in terms of its wider landscape using a range of theoretical ideas such as representation, embodiment and experience.
Narrative, fiction and empathy
In recent years I have explored the role of historical fiction and narrative as archaeological research methods. In collaboration with Dr Daan van Helden, I co-edited a volume of papers exploring the overlap in aims, methods and accountability of fictive techniques in writing archaeological narratives, with contributions by a wide range of specialists from ancient historians and novelists to media studies researchers.
Publishing and mentoring
Building on my editorship of the world archaeology journal Antiquity (2018-2024) I have developed research into the archaeological publishing, including an article on gender and authorship. I also initiated the Rewriting World Archaeology mentoring programme to work with early career researchers from regions of the world that are underrepresented in journals such as Antiquity. With colleagues from Durham and around the world, we have been working with cohorts of researchers from Africa and South Asia to develop papers from publication in international journals.
Research postgraduates
I currently supervise research students working on varied aspects of Roman and landscape archaeology and reuse of legacy data. If you are interested in undertaking postgraduate research, please feel free to contact me to discuss your ideas.
