Biographical notes

As a departure from her previous archaeological career Sophie Hay joined the Archaeological Prospection Services of Southampton unit to explore the world of applied geophysical survey.

She was immediately immersed into the Three Valleys Survey Project in Hampshire as well as the Leffinge Survey Project in Belgium. Since then she has mainly been involved with survey work in Italy, continuing the collaboration with The British School at Rome. This work includes a large scale geophysical and topographic survey at Otricoli (Ocriculum) headed by Simon Keay and Martin Millett as part of the Roman Towns Project contribution to the Tiber Valley Project. She has conducted a survey over a large part of the Roman town of Sentinum as well as carried out fieldwork in Capua.

She previously worked for The British School at Rome as site director for the archaeological recording of Insula IX, Region 1 in Pompeii undertaking the recording of the standing structures and supervising the excavations conducted by the University of Reading. Other archaeological work has taken her to far flung places such as the Libyan desert, Albania and the jungles of Belize.
