I am doing a full time degree in Archaeology and Anthropology and am currently a second year, having done slightly better in the exams than I expected. I am a member of the Colchester Roman Society which has been involved in research into the Roman Army and providing educational visits to schools for the past 12 years. We also take part in ‘Living History’ events, such as that organised by English Heritage at Kirby Hall. I am particularly interested in Post Roman Britain up to about 800 AD and Roman archaeology. I have excavated in Colchester, Cambridgeshire (as a paid archaeologist – wow), and Georgia (former Soviet Union). I have also managed to do some post-excavation work in Sicily this year and recently visited the Boyne Valley, Tara, and the Book of Kells in Ireland.
As for the degree I am currently concentrating on Roman and Egyptian archaeology, but I hope to do some Mesoamerican next year. This is in addition to the core papers and practicals.
Websites
Auxilia Britannia. This is still under construction. It is dedicated to the auxilia units of the Roman army. Haven’t been able to devote much time recently and would appreciate any help on the incomplete pages.
