RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on human-animal relationships and how this relates to the form, structure, ideology and practice of past societies. My approach is to integrate animal bone data with other categories of material culture, and with wider archaeological, historical and anthropological discussions. A second theme within my work is perceptions of marginality, in particular with relation to the archaeology of islands. As a result, my research has wide geographical and temporal applicability.
Current major themes include:
The social, symbolic and ritual role of animals and their place in human society –traditionally zooarchaeology has promoted a utilitarian interpretation of the past with animal remains informing upon previous environments or economies. Active descriptions of human-animal interactions are made through models of hunting and farming and tend to be constrained by opposing themes, with communities either merely subsisting, motivated by the need to avoid starvation, or being driven by efficiency, with maximizing production the overall aim. There remains a reluctance to address the social nature of the human-animal relationship and I feel that existing approaches fail because they seek particular, proscribed roles for animals. Whilst it is commonly acknowledged that this simplistic view excludes the wide range of expressions found in the human-animal relationship, there exists little in the way of a framework for alternative interpretations. I have a contract with Routledge to write a book (Totems and Sacrifices) further exploring, expanding and debating the nature of the human-animal relationship.
The role of hunted/collected animals in farming societies – what are the social and/or economic forces that motivate wild food collection in post-Mesolithic societies? Central to my work is the sociology of food and the role of hunting, fishing and wildfowling in farming societies and how the procurement, distribution and consumption of wild animals was used to negotiate identities and construct power relationships. I have published work on the exploitation of wild terrestrial and marine resources, with a new edited volume and further research into the role of red deer planned. Allied to this is my work on marine mammals, in particular cetacea. I undertook a reassessment of the evidence for whaling in prehistory which lead onto a consideration of the role of zooarchaeological data in formulating modern subsistence whaling legislation and opinions.
Islands and Coasts - fieldwork in the Hebrides has been the springboard for a study into the perception of islands as marginal or central places and most recently this is manifest in my field research project on the Isles of Scilly which commenced in September 2005. This project actively promotes inter-disciplinary activities in the broadest sense, for example linking universities, governmental and commercial organisations and initiating community involvement.
Milk in the archaeological record - its inception, identification and husbandry. I have tested the prevailing models used for defining past animal economic practices against new data and critiqued the use of historical and ethnographic data in the assessment of these models. Through inter-disciplinary work I have helped to promote and refine new biomolecular methods of identifying the presence of milk and ensured such research is both relevant and appropriate to archaeological questions.

FIELDWORK PROJECTS (Director)
Islands in a Common Sea: Archaeology in the Isles of Scilly
This project seeks to reinvigorate archaeological research into the prehistory and later history of the Islands and to further develop knowledge of the early environment, settlement and social activity. Also it aims to investigate the relationship between the Islands and the Southwest British mainland and to further enhance understanding of the archaeology of the Atlantic façade. The project is of particular relevance for continuing research into cultural, economic and social responses to physical and climatic marginality on islands.
Lyonesse Project
The aims of the Lyonesse Project are to reconstruct the evolution of the physical environment of the Isles of Scilly during the Holocene, the progressive occupation of this changing coastal landscape by early peoples and their response to marine inundation and changing marine resource availability. Of particular importance nationally will be the collection and analysis of data that will increase knowledge of sea level change during the past 8,000 years. The project, which will extend over a 2-year period, includes geophysical survey to identify submerged sediments and archaeological remains and biostratigraphic analysis of coastal, intertidal and submerged sediments at selected locations around Scilly

ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES
Present Duties
Chair of the Archaeology and Conservation Undergraduate Board of Studies 2009 onwards. This is key administrative post with the school. In addition to the main body of work this post involves, I also provide support to a number of students who, for one reason or another have failed to complete within the period of their degree, much of the support, encouragement and monitoring of these individuals falls to me. Member of School Board, Member of the Information Resources Committee.
Previous Duties, Examinations Liaison Officer for the Archaeology Section 2003-2009, 7Library Representative. Information Resources Committee. Student/Staff liaison officer for the Archaeology Society, providing support and advice to the society. Fieldwork co-ordinator
Laboratory and Research Management and Administration - In 2002/3 I designed, furnished and equipped an Osteoarchaeology Laboratory as part of a successful SHRIFT bid and created a reference collection for British Faunal and Human skeletal material. I manage and curate the Environmental Archaeology and Osteoarchaeology teaching collections (plant, human and animal) and I am responsible for the financial planning and management for the Osteoarchaeology and Environmental Archaeology Laboratories. At present I also manage a Research Associate (employed on a series of projects funded through my research accounts, and structured so that the RA can also provide expertise and support to students and staff in the department). In 2006 and 2009 I was awarded twelve month bursaries for Heritage Lottery Funded Internships in Osteoarchaeology through the Institute for Field Archaeologists. I have also set up a stable isotope preparation laboratory.

ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY
I initiated and now manage ZOOARCH, a JISCMAIL zooarchaeology discussion group widely acknowledged as an invaluable forum for discussion and in promoting the exchange of ideas between the 800 plus professional colleagues, students, amateurs and other interested members from around the world.
I regularly speak at conferences (paper titles are listed towards end of this document). Through my work with the National Museum of Wales and a number of on-going research projects I have enhanced links between Cardiff University and the museum. I have run professional training courses at a regional and national level in all aspects of archaeological science, whilst working for English Heritage. I also part authored and edited the (EH) Centre for Archaeology guidelines for Environmental Archaeology, a document disseminated nationally to academic and commercial archaeologists.
OUTREACH AND ENGAGMENT
I have two outreach and engagement events running 2009/10. The first is ‘Future animals: friend or food?’ a Beacons funded project that offers young people an insight into, and an exploration of, ‘artificial selection - a key aspect of Charles Darwin’s research into the origin of species by natural selection. In addition to offering hands-on creative challenges and experience, these workshop offer scope for ethical debate about our past, present and future relationship with animals, and the responsibilities that we face as agents of biological change (http://futureanimals.wordpress.com/). The workshops also offer young people the chance to participate directly in the process of designing a museum display. The second is a Leverhulme funded Artist in Residency that explores skeletal remains in a project entitled Osteobiography (http://osteography.wordpress.com/)
My fieldwork projects also have a commitment to engagement with the community and this has been reflected the awarding of an AONB sustainability grant (see above). In our 2007 field project we ran projects with the Five Islands Primary and Secondary Schools and held five separate events for National Archaeology Week we also run a number of blogs relating to our fieldwork (http://scillyarchaeology.wordpress.com/ and http://lyonesseproject.wordpress.com/. Also during my term as Prehistoric Society meeting secretary I initiated national student field trips to allow academics to speak to a wider audience on the archaeology of a specific area.
