Specialist Archaeological Services

As a professional archaeologist, I am a member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists. Throughout my 30-year career, I have worked with museums, universities and commercial companies to deliver archaeological projects from initial assessment to final report. I have also directed a number of community excavations, presenting archaeology to the public through fieldwork, workshops and exhibitions. I have worked extensively throughout the North-West - Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, and further afield - Jersey, Nevis, Turkey, Jordan and the Falkland Islands.
