As a trainee pottery specialist at MOLA, I analyse pottery assemblages from London, as well as MOLA sites from the South-East, East Midlands, and East of England.
Before joining MOLA in 2025, I worked as an archaeologist and pottery specialist in Italy and Greece, including as senior pottery specialist and laboratory manager for the Apolline Project between 2010 and 2023, where I focused on Roman and late antique pottery from various villas and sites on the north slope of Vesuvius and at Aeclanum in Campania. I was also the pottery specialist for the Regina Carolina Project at Pompeii with Cornell University (2018-2025), and the Apalirou Project in Greece (2017-2019) as part of a team from the Universities of Edinburgh and Newcastle.
I have a broad range of research interests centred on the analysis of Roman and late antique pottery both in Britain and the Mediterranean. My primary focus is on studying Roman and late Roman trade and economy, for which I received a Simon Keay Award at the British School at Rome in 2025. I am particularly interested in examining pottery distribution at both regional and long-distance scales to understand the relationships between trade and cultural exchange in the Roman world. I also have an interest in medieval pottery in Italy.
I have published papers in English and Italian peer-reviewed journals including: From North Africa to Campania: Trade and local imitations of Africana Cooking ware. An overview and new data from North-Vesuvian Territory, in Rei Cretariae Romanae Fautores Acta 46 (2020); Sea or Land? Trade from the coast to the fringe of Campania, in LRCW 6 (2023); and Three Perspectives on Late Antique Aeclanum: Buildings, Inscriptions, and Ceramics, in Studies in Late Antiquity: a Journal (2024).
