Biography
I originally worked in IT before transitioning into archaeology. I have since focused on the relationship between humans and the animals they share space with, both intentionally and unintentionally.
Research
I am currently a PhD student on the AHRC funded Cultural and Scientific Perceptions of Human-Chicken Interactions project. My research focuses on the chicken-related material culture of prehistoric and first millennium Europeans and how it reflects their thoughts and beliefs relating to them.
