The Royal Albert Memorial Museum is a world class museum and art gallery located in Exeter, UK. Housing over 1 million objects of local, national and international importance with many artifacts of outstanding historical or cultural significance. Within these collections are multiple assemblages of medieval archaeological fish remains from Exeter, which will provide one of two case study assemblages for Beyond Stockfish.
Tom is Assistant Curator of Archaeology and Antiquities at the RAMM, and his work covers local archaeology and history, numismatics and the archaeology of Egypt, the Mediterranean and Western Asia.
The Archaeology and Monument Preservation Department regulates all matters of monument preservation and archaeological investigation in the UNESCO World Heritage Site medieval city centre of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck (Hansestadt Lübeck). Extensive excavations of archaeological sites within the de facto capital of the Hanseatic League have resulted in large amounts of recovered archaeological fish bone, which will provide the second of two case study assemblages for Beyond Stockfish.
Dirk is the Head of Department of Archaeology and Monument Preservation at the Hansestadt Lübeck and over his career has directed various archaeological excavations focused on the Hanseatic period and founding of the city. His research interests span medieval archaeology, urban planning in the Baltic region, and infectious diseases and archaeoparasites.

Samantha is the ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) research technician at the University of York's BioArch Centre. Past palaeoproteomics research has included work on fish, bone tools, ostrich eggshell and animal domestication.
Sean specialises in exploring deep-time human-animal-environment interactions through the synthesis of zooarchaeological, biomolecular (isotope analysis, proteomics and genetics), historical and anthropological research. His research focuses on using archaeology to help tackle modern environmental and societal challenges, including biodiversity, animal health and wildlife management
Naomi is the co-Director of the Centre for HumAnE Bioarchaeology. She researches and teaches on human-animal-environment interactions over the last 10,000 years, exploring how they inform on the structure, ideology and impact of societies, past and present. She is particularly interested in reconstructing the bio-cultural histories of introduced and locally extinct / endangered species (e.g. fallow deer, chickens, rabbits, hares, cats, dogs and wolves).
Ruth is a marine historical ecologist interested in improving fisheries sustainability and informing marine conservation goals. Her core research examines the magnitude, direction and drivers of changes that have occurred in marine social-ecological systems over decadal to centennial scales. She is Chair of the Oceans Past Initiative, a global research network that works to advance interdisciplinary research to discover the history of marine ecosystems and human relationships with the ocean through time.
Paul is Emeritus Professor of Archaeology and former Chair of Anatomy at the Hull York Medical School. His principal research interests concern the links between morphological variation, phylogeny, function and ontogeny in primates and other mammals, and has consulted on dozens of geometric morphometrics projects in palaeontology and archaeology.
