Hello!

I am a researcher in the afterlives of medieval and prehistoric literature, archaeology, and places, but I enjoy reading widely and trying out methods and theories from different subjects. I like the challenge of starting pages for people in arts and culture, especially Women in Red, and love watching a page get added to.

I completed a PhD at King's College London looking at the history of meanings of Sutton Hoo since its discovery in 1939. This research takes into account newspaper articles, TV documentaries, archives of archaeological digs and the Sutton Hoo Society, and many, many site and exhibition visits.

I'm now doing further research on the afterlives and archives of the neolithic stone circle at Avebury, and how and why people today revisit the prehistoric and medieval past to make new work.

Avebury-related editing / COI declaration

Between July 2022-July 2025 I am a postdoc on the Avebury Papers research project. This project is a collaboration between University of York (where I am employed), Bournemouth University, University of Bristol, and the National Trust. As part of this work, I will be making edits, or training other people to make edits, to Avebury-related pages - which I will list here. This will involve auditing pages, establishing what needs to be improved, and making edits to add information, citations, research, and images via uploads to Wikicommons. Please be in touch if you have any questions or concerns!
