Research<\/h3>\n

I have primarily worked in commercial archaeology with over ten years experience as a field archaeologist and later as an archaeobotanist. In these roles, I have worked on rural and urban sites from small evaluations to large-scale road projects and deeply stratified urban sites. My primary focus is waterlogged and mineralized macrobotanical\u00a0remains from the Roman to historical periods in the British Isles. I look forward to applying my skills to new projects in the New England region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
