Witham, England, United Kingdom

I worked for UCL on archaeological sites across London and South-East. My responsibilities were to: conduct excavations by hand of archaeological features such as burials and buildings; produce digital records of all findings and package all findings for curation and research.

London, England, United Kingdom

I worked on the two large cemetery sites of Park St (Birmingham) and St James Gardens (London) for the HS2 project excavating human burials. The high preservation of remains in St. James garden allows me to work with skeletal remains of varying decomposition stages. A key responsibility is retaining, recording and packing of personal effects associated with the remains recovered, working with dignity and respect so that all items exhumed can be relocated and reburied as they initially were.

Lincoln, England, United Kingdom

I worked on the Triton Knoll Archaeological Mitigation Programme. On site as a human osteologist. Main responsibilities: conduct excavations of human burials and other archaeological features; recover personal effects, produce written, digital and sketched records of finds.

Andenne, Walloon Region, Belgium

Jun-Aug 2015 I was part of a team of professional archaeologists excavating in a Neanderthal cave site, unearthing lithic artefacts, vertebrate mammals, understanding stratigraphy and context of each find in situ.Jun-Sep 2016, Jun-Aug 2017I was field and lab supervisor of the initial team to begin work on the Neolithic cave site La Faucille Cave. I supervised field (2017) and post-excavation research of the recovered remains and related artefacts from the site, assessing: MNI, sex, age at death and pathologies of humans and animals. I used photogrammetry to produce a 3D model catalogue of all finds exhumed from the site, aiding in the preservation and ease of external international study of this collection. All on site data was recorded through GIS.Oct 2017-Aug 2018I led teams of anthropologists/archaeologist in excavation, lab techniques and curation, assisting with excavation, giving tutorials on methods of excavation, sedimentology, lithic artefacts, flora and fauna at the site. I also conducted a mass data collection on fossil bears excavated from the Scladina Cave site and its sister caves, and other European cave sites. I laser scanned, photographed and measured dentition and skeletal elements for analyses and digital curation.
