Dr David Williams's photo

Dr David Williams is a Visiting Senior Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Southampton.

I specialise in the physical analysis and characterisation of ancient ceramics and lithics (marbles, building stones, querns, honestones, etc) by thin sectioning, and the trade patterns which can be deduced from them. I have worked extensively on ceramics and lithics of all periods from throughout Britain and much of the Mediterranean.

Research interests

I am currently researching late Roman amphorae production in Cyprus and south-eastern Turkey; the production and distribution of basalt quernstones in the eastern Mediterranean and Spanish fish-sauce amphorae in Roman Britain.

Research group

Affiliate research groups

, Centre for Maritime Archaeology

I would be interested in supervising PhDs on the following topics:

  • Pottery and Lithics [not chipped flint]
  • "Imports of stone to Anglo-Saxon England"
