Professor David Wheatley PhD

Professor of Archaeology, FAH Associate Dean (Education and Student Experience)

David Wheatley is a Professor of Archaeology and Associate Dean for Education.

I am Professor of Archaeology and Associate Dean for Education in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. I completed my first degree at at University College Cardiff in 1988, and then came to Southampton to study for an MSc in Archaeological Computing in 1989, followed by a PhD that took me into the emerging field of Geographic Information Systems and their application to Archaeology, completed in 1993.

I have taught a range of prehistory and archaeological method courses over the following two decades, while also researching the prehistory of Southern Britain (including excavations at Avebury in Wiltshire) and southern Iberia in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Seville, Andalucia among others. I also have research interests in later prehistoric Rock Art, notably the so-called ‘warrior stelae’ of the southwestern Iberian late Bronze Age, and I continue to be interested in the development of Archaeological method, particularly computational methods, spatial analysis, computational photography and image processing methods.
