I’ve been a research and contract archaeologist since 1988, working on sites in Britain, Italy, and Canada. I’ve worked on sites of most periods, except the Paleolithic, PaleoIndian, and Neolithic. These days, my main interest is in the industrial landscape of Coalbrookdale (England), and the early days of what David Cranstone calls the ‘long industrial revolution’. My most recent project was the Upper Forge, conducted in conjunction with Paul Belford of Ironbridge Archaeology. We excavated, and are still doing documentary research on, the earliest cementation steel furnace in Britain. My field experience has included most types of excavation and survey, including geophysical survey, topographic survey, and aerial photography analysis. I have a strong interest in the development of archaeological methods and their effectiveness and applicability. This has been a central part of undergraduate courses I have taught.
