Having worked in the field for a number of different commercial archaeology units, I joined MOLA in 2023 as a trainee Roman Pottery Specialist, helping to record the pottery from large excavations in the City of London. Since I completed my traineeship, I am widening my skillset to include pottery from different counties and periods, and am especially enjoying early prehistoric sites.
My particular interests lie in aspects of pottery production, how people throughout history thought about ceramics, and how we can decipher the clues left on excavated pottery to learn how these vessels were used. I love my job because you really do learn something new everyday.
I am also a committee member of the Study Group for Roman Pottery.
